October might just be the best time of year to be a hooper. The energy of the WNBA Finals flows straight into NBA tip-off, and gyms everywhere are buzzing as leagues, programs, and pickup runs heat back up. That makes now a perfect time to lock in your sneaker rotation — for both on-court performance and off-court sauce.
When it’s time to get game-ready, DICK’S Sporting Goods has everything you need. We’re talking top-tier performance models like the Nike Ja 3 and adidas Anthony Edwards 2 — two frontrunners for “Hoop Shoe of the Year” — plus all the latest signature hits from Sabrina Ionescu, LeBron James, and more. Different shoes, different stories, same mission: hoop your best and look good doing it.
Of course, real hoopers know “game ready” doesn’t start at tip-off. It starts the second you step into the gym, maybe even before. That’s where DICK’S off-court lineup comes in, led by icons like the Nike Air Force 1 and Air Jordan 1, along with tech-forward favorites like the Nike Shox NZ and Jordan Trunner O/S. They’ll have you walking in with confidence and leaving in comfort.
Explore our curated DICK’S Shopping Guide below to find your next pairs. And if nothing here hits just right, the DICK’S site has plenty more waiting for you.
When the dust settles, two models are bound to dominate the “Hoop Shoe of the Year” debate: the Nike Ja 3 and adidas Anthony Edwards 2. Two electrifying guards. Two marketable stars. Two brands with the reach to make their signature lines stick.
Both models have already landed at DICK’S Sporting Goods — the Ja 3 in a glow-in-the-dark “Spooky Season” Halloween style, and the Anthony Edwards 2 in its inaugural “With Love” colorway.
That being said, don’t overlook the Jordan Tatum 4. Jayson Tatum’s latest signature sneaker just dropped in a Green Glow makeup that mirrors the Celtics’ uniforms – a perfect match for Boston fans chasing a little extra good fortune on the floor.
Sabrina Ionescu’s Nike signatures have been among the most-worn in the NBA and WNBA since its first edition, and we would bank on that continuing for 2025-26. The “Radiant” offers a vibrant makeup to start off, or add to, your collection from the W’s deadliest shooter – even better, it’s one you can only scoop at DSG.
Sticking on the women’s side, the retailer is home to quick-riser Moolah, the first basketball brand on the scene to specifically tailor their kicks for the ladies.The Neovolt Pro v3 carries pro-level tooling, from EVA cushioning to herringbone traction, offering a can’t-miss colorway in this “Cotton Candy” style look.
Lastly, it’s hard to get more storied than LeBron James, and you can genuinely feel the special attention paid to his landmark 23rd shoe. Reach for this tropical “Miami Twice” colorway to bring the seeds of his winning legacy into your own runs.
Sometimes you don’t need to complicate things. Nike’s hoops legacy has been reverberating through street looks for decades, and smart money is on that continuing indefinitely, even as the colder months dawn. While we’d never argue against the classic Triple White, the return of Realtree patterns to the Air Force 1 makes for a natural embrace of Fall.
It may not carry the same earthy tones, but the Nike Dunk Low University Red has been fit for the season since it first landed on college campuses, especially true as it wears “Be True To Your School” style, goes-with-everything two-tones. Not to be left out, Jordan Brand is leaning on its own lifestyle history this season, placing the Trunner family at the center of its casual catalog in a re-up of its first off-court product line. In “Black/Pink,” the Trunner O/S makes it clear why they’ve done so, an equal balance between eye-catching statement colors, everyday neutral anchoring, and all-day comfort.
Black and red and the Air Jordan 1 — what else needs to be said? Made famous by the G.O.A.T. four decades ago, the Air Jordan 1 remains a pillar of street style and retro cool, now available in a timeless low-top “Bred” makeup that screams Chicago.
If your tastes lean more “new school,” Jordan brand’s latest trainer, the Trunner O/S, builds on its legacy with a chunky, tech-forward edge. And if you’re riding the Y2K sneaker wave, the Shox NZ is back for the first time in years, blending streetwear energy with classic Nike running heritage.
