All the shoes I've purchased have been 40-60 USD (at time of purchase) --- I've used Amazon and outlets as shoes are available. I'm actually waiting on a couple shoes to arrive (gotta have someone visit to get around customs) so i won't comment on them but here is a copy/paste of a comment I've made regarding shoes that I've already used:
4) Right now I'm rocking Adidas Streetball 2. Not as "snug" on my ankle as I prefer, but that's remedied by adding an ankle brace if you're concerned about it. Otherwise a very solid shoe for players who post up a lot and really bang and grind on an outdoor court. It'll take a LONG time to wear down the treads on those. They're kinda heavy though for smaller/quick-footed players & movements. The lacing is a pain in the butt to deal with, too, if you have to loosen/tighten your shoes a lot like I do. Poor design in their eyelets, IMO. https://www.amazon.com/Adidas-Originals-Street-Basketball-Shoes/dp/B00JFGUOEM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484767061&sr=8-1&keywords=adidas+streetball+2
3) If there's a chance I'll be in more of a PG role, I have a pair of Reebok Pumpspective Omni Lite that I like to use. I like the "outer lip" that they have to prevent ankle rolling. A lot of cutting on a rough will have you wearing down the tread pretty quickly though... but they transition between indoor/outdoor pretty well. Plus they get nostalgia points for having "The Pump." https://www.amazon.com/Reebok-Pumpspective-Basketball-Blazing-Orange/dp/B00AW7GYBA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1484768574&sr=8-1&keywords=pumpspective
2) A good balance between the two (in my opinion) is Jordan Superfly 2. They have good ankle support, and hold up pretty well on the concrete. I recently tried the Superfly 5s on -- yesterday, in fact-- and the newer Superfly shoes have a much different fit than the 2s (I did NOT like the newer fit). Treads are a little deeper than the Pumpspective, but not as deep as the StreetBall. These are my "preferred" outdoor shoe on the list. https://www.amazon.com/Jordan-Super-Fly-Black-White-Basketball/dp/B00M0IE0C4/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1484767491&sr=8-3&keywords=jordan%2Bsuperfly%2B2&th=1
