Looking to get back into bballin and I want to get some new sneakers.

FWIW I have absolutely no arches, but have never had problems with any shoes I've owned before so I don't think that's a concern

Don't really care about looks though I guess I would rather want something simpler & inoffensive

Also don't care about technology like springs or air bubbles or whatever

Any ideas?

Here are some I'm seeing that at least look decent

2nd pair, the reeboks!!!

I play in either old old school nikes or old old school Pony's. All black or black and white are mine.

Always rock the 'Im old school shoes".
