Playing around with it, a basketball dunk kind of design can be customized to a higher level of protection for the ankle to protect from all kinds of overflex of the joint which could injure the ligaments and tendons.
A more modern, low profile shoe has a major margin to add ankle protection to the shoe which might be necessary as the shoes themselves have very low cut, non-majorly padded ankles which do not protect a skateboarder's ankles from any kind of overflex.
An old school, padded sneaker has a much more padded collar giving a much more comfortable fit to the ankle but still lacks the kind of protection an ankle needs from overflex.
