Basketball Referee Shoes

Basketball referee shoes are all black and built for performance on the court. We carry shoes made specifically for basketball officiating, including 3n2 Patent Leather Shoes and Smitty’s Court Maxx 1, designed by a former and current NBA official.

The New Balance Fresh Foam X offers a modern, cushioned sole and outstanding comfort for referees who spend long hours on the hardwood. Asics GT-1000 running shoes also transition well to the court for those preferring a lighter feel.

Now featuring the Under Armour Assert 11, a versatile, all-black option combining lightweight flexibility, responsive cushioning, and durable traction—ideal for basketball officials seeking both comfort and style.

While most referee shoes come in standard D widths, the 3n2’s are also available in EE (wide).
