Answers:
Most sports shoes (running etc) are now made from synthetic materials because leather is actually rather heavy!.
While most basketball shoes still have some leather on them, those that are marketed as "light" are often entirely synthetic/vegan!.
also, as technologies improve, so does the amount and quality of synthetic shoes!. I bought my first pair of vegan tramping boots this year and they are by far the sturdiest I have ever owned!!
Even if you have trouble finding a good pair of vegan ones, don't give up: they do exist!. Most quality shoe stores should be able to help you if you say you want entirely synthetic shoes!. And if in doubt just search the internet for brands/styles you know are synthetic beforehand!.
These are just a sample of what I found in only a few minutes:

I'm not sure where you're from that you think that most shoes are made from leather!. There are a wiiiiiiide variety of sports shoes made from plastics and canvas!. New Balance makes two kinds of vegan running shoes, W498 and W587!. Keep your eyes open :)Www@FoodAQ@Com
There are quite a few models of non-leather running shoes, so I would think there must be some vegan basketball shoes too!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
Of course!. Many basketball shoes are canvas- Converse All Stars for instance!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
I dont think so but i'm not a veagan!.!.!.good for you!!!!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
