a tight light shoe, that is low. so it isnt swallowing ur ankle, if it is a high shoe then u wont have the same movement from ur feet when u jump. they need to be tight so u dont lose any force and if they are light it helps. the shoe doesnt make that much difference but some shoes are better than others. for example my and1's are better for jumping than my af1's.
