Why do you wear rubber-soled shoes in the gym?
The basketball court can be extremely slippery, and leather soles quickly collect dirt and dust off the floorboards, transforming the shoes into a traction-free dustmop. Whereas the rubber sole doesn't attract particles, and are also easier to wipe down during the game. That is why you see players sliding their hands under their shoes to remove excess dust, dirt, etc.

Yes. Many high end shoe makers use stacked leather heels for their shoes. Stacked leather heels are made out of layers of leather placed on top of each other.

Cheap shoes also may try to replicate that "striped" look by molding lines into the (usually plastic or rubber) heel.

House shoes, and most less-expensive bowling shoes, are ambidextrous: they have identical smooth leather soles on the bottom of both shoes. Many professional and high-average bowlers, however, use shoes that have a smooth leather sole for the sliding foot and a rubber (or a rough leather, such as canvas) sole for better traction with the other foot. Since almost all left-handed bowlers slide on their right foot when releasing the ball, a set of left-handed shoes would have the smooth leather on that side.
