7. Under Armour Charge BB
The Under Armour Charge BB has received rave reviews from those who have played in them. However, those reviews aren't abundant as the ultra-high collar seemed to turn many basketball players off. Despite its rather odd appearance the Charge BB features UA's beloved Micro G and is an extremely light sneaker.

All for the retail price of $94.99.
