So funny thing about ankle support... that little bit of material on mid and high tops doesn't actually prevent injury. It may even lead to a higher chance of injury thanks to reduced sensitivity as well as relying on a sense of protection that isn't actually there. The only thing that will actually support your ankles in a way that prevents injury are actual ankle braces.
Skateboard tricks use a lot of ankle motion, and I would recommend sticking with low top shoes. In addition, I would recommend looking up ankle exercises to help strengthen your ankles. This not only helps you prevent injury, but will improve your control.

For the record, I don't play vball. I'm a tennis player and I'm a little aggressive on the court, so I need ankle support, at the very least, for confidence. I've tried a bunch out, and these are by far the best. Definitely on the pricey side, but I love these because they are the strongest and quickest/easiest to put on out of anything I've tried. Highly recommend. Also used by Andy Murray (tennis player, among a few others)
