The high-top is a shoe that extends significantly over the wearer's ankle. It is commonly an athletic shoe, particularly for basketball. It is sometimes confused with the slightly shorter mid-top. Examples of basketball shoes that are high-tops are Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars; Nike Air Forces 1, 2, and 3; Reebok Freestyle and BB 4600; and Adidas Superstar High. Others include skateboarding sneakers, such as the Supra Skytop and Society and the Vans Vault Hi Fi LX.
