Why do you need high-tops? The answers is simple: ankle support.  You can twist an ankle by slipping off a curb just as easily as doing a lay-up on a basketball court.  Furthermore, if your ankles are sturdy, your knees will also be sturdy.  I wear high-tops for everything from walking to hiking. 

Even though they take a few seconds longer to put on then low-tops, they are an excellent investement.

High-Tops on Wikipedia 

The high-top is a shoe that extends significantly over the wearer's ankle. It is commonly an athletic shoe, particularly for basketball. It is sometimes confused with the slightly shorter mid-top. Examples of basketball shoes that are high-tops are Converse Chuck Taylor All-Stars; Nike Air Forces 1, 2, and 3; Reebok Freestyle and BB 4600; and Adidas Superstar High. Others include skateboarding sneakers, such as the Supra Skytop and Society and the Vans Vault Hi Fi LX.
