No, Basketball shoes do not make you jump higher. They are meant to keep your ankles safe from the constant changing of direction that occurs in basketball. Some shoes may claim to help you jump higher, but that is just a way for them to sell shoes.

If you want to jump higher, there are plenty of drills you can find by searching Google that will help improve your jumping specifically for basketball.
