Not to mention Marbury developed heel problems from wearing his shitty $15 low budget shoes. He denies this claim but who do you believe?
To sum things up there is no one perfect shoe. I'd try to have a pair of dedicated runners at the very least (your shins, feet and rest of your body will thank you later.) You might be able to get away with 2 pairs (runners + cross trainers) depending on how serious you play some sports.
If you're planning on playing indoor Basketball competitively then there's no way you can get around with a pair of "all-purpose" shoes. On the other hand if you're playing casually outdoors then you may be able to get away with wearing a pair of cross trainers.
Just buy the best pair of shoes you can afford. Similar to if you played hockey you'd want to buy the best pair of skates you can afford because you use them the most out of any piece of equipment. Your game will suffer if you cheap out.
