Professional StylistYes, basketball shoes look great with a nice pair of slim fit or skinny jeans. Avoid pants that have flared legs though since they won't show off your shoes as well. -

Professional StylistThere are so many different types of sneakers, so it really depends what kind of brand and look you’re going for. I would recommend pairing a rounded toe slip on sneaker with skinny jeans for a comfortable and chic look.
