hi-top

Tall basketball sneaker

Hi-top describes footwear, especially athletic shoes or sneakers, that extends above the ankle: classic hi-top basketball shoes.

The style offers more ankle support than low-tops and has cycled in and out of fashion since the mid-twentieth century.

Also spelled high-top.
