Men's Pigskin Basketball Shoes from China

High-top basketball shoes featuring uppers made primarily from genuine pigskin leather, with rubber outer soles for traction on indoor courts. These qualify under HTS 6403.99.60.50 as they are gym-style shoes for men with pigskin uppers, not meeting sports footwear criteria due to lacking spikes or cleats. The pigskin provides durability and breathability ideal for athletic training.
