Basketball shoe are made to jump easier and
in-built with better arch support. But tennis is a game where you to have run
side-to-side on the court. You can get better support if you wear basketball
shoes for tennis but the basketball shoes are quite heavier than the tennis
shoes. So, you won't be able to make quick sidewise movements while playing
tennis. Apart from these, basketball shoes are designed for floors and not
exclusive for outdoor courts. So, it's better to avoid basketball shoes for
tennis.
