Personalizing your basketball shoes is a way to express your personal style and taste. You can achieve this by choosing your preferred combination of colors, changing the shoe laces, printing on the side and heal of your basketball sneaker and other features available through the manufacturers website, such as customized length and width for each foot. If you are playing in a team that has a uniform, you may not be able to choose your own colors for your shoes, but you can still personalize them writing and your choice in materials.
Step 1
Visit a specialized sports store and try on different brands of shoes until you find one that fits you. Check if the brand you have chosen makes custom shoes and ask what the price difference is to make your final choice.
Step 2
Go to the website of the brand you selected and select the option to customize your basketball shoes. Brands such as Nike with NikeID and Adidas with Miadidas have user-friendly pages that make the customization process easy to follow. For other brands you may need to send an email with your specifications.
Step 3
Choose the style of shoe you want, primarily if you want a low or hi top shoe that will give your ankles extra protection. Then choose the material of your shoe, such as leather or canvas. Some manufacturers let you choose different materials for different parts of the shoe and each can be a different color.
Step 4
Personalize the heal of your shoes by printing your name or team's name on it. Depending on the brand of basketball sneakers you selected, you will have a limit to the number of characters you will be allowed to submit, but it will most likely be more than six and up to 10 characters.
Step 5
Find the color and type of shoe laces you want for your basketball shoes. Shoe laces can come in bright and shiny colors as well as have different widths to them. Always make sure they are made with a material that will fasten well, as you need them to not only look good, but keep your shoes tight to protect your ankles and feet.
Step 6
Finalize your design and submit it only after you have double-checked the spelling of the name you will have imprinted on the heals.
