May have been asked before but anyone know the best places to buy basketball shoes online preferably in Australia? Happy for them to be pricy as long as they are quality

Eastbay is hardly worth it anymore with the exchange rate right now. I think for my last buy I ended up saving $10 on what I'd pay in store, and this was on about $300 worth of stuff and all on sale...
I only shop on Eastbay when they are offering big discounts.
The international shipping is too pricey.

You might not save on Eastbay but you will generally get exactly what you want, instead of the what ever they have in stock at Footlocker. Shipping is always on point too.

You should try before you buy with any shoe but specially sports shoes
Just google what your after in your area and see who is the most competitive price wise and then go try them

If you're only buying 1 pair of shoes, then yeah, it gets pricey. But if you can get a group together to order above the minimum for flat rate shipping, it's not too bad.
retailmenot.com also nearly always has some sort of coupon code.
I ordered a few things a few weeks back. They had some big sales on with clearance items and the like. Clearance items were 20% of the already discounted price. Most things were already discounted by 50%. Use the $20 off coupon that they usually have from the above site and it erases a good portion of the postage costs, then all the other sales means you're well in front. Depends if the thing you want is on sale or full price. I got a pair of shoes, 4 shirts, 4 pairs of shorts, a singlet top and 3 pairs of socks for just over $300AUD.

I've been a fan of Eastbay over the years but had a bad experience last time. Ordered a pair of New Balance shoes the same size shown as a pair I already owned. When they tuned up they were marked as exactly the size I ordered but were fair dinkum 10cm shorter than the pair I had. Not even close to fitting. Couldn't be bothered doing the whole return thing so just gave them to a kid I coach.
So yeah....I'll be trying on somewhere and buying those in future
Haha, new balance. I'm sure the 40 year old kid/dad really appreciated them. Comfortable and look great with jeans.
Hey..I have wide feet! New Balance extra wide shoes are all I wear haha
