Amazing Shoe
The Nike GT Cut 2 are amazing. It is true that it's not as amazing as the first GT Cuts but it's still an amazing performer. The fit of the shoe is a lot more snug and secured than the first model. Unlike the GT Cut 1.0, you need to break in the traction, and once that's done, you'll love them more. Probably the biggest upgrade was the cushioning, it has slightly more impact protection. Since there is more cushion, the court feel is less than the previous model but it's not that much of a problem. Overall, it's still an amazing performer and another pro with the 2.0 is that it's more available, no need to purchase resale prices.... Show more

Best Hoop Shoes, Questionable Durability
These were the first pair of shoes that shocked me with their performance. Break in time took a week or two, but after that they were perfect. By far the best grip I've ever had on my hoop shoes. I was still squeaking on courts where others were sliding because of the dust. Never had a problem with grip. My only gripe though is the durability. I'm not the most athletic and high flying hooper, but these soles have ripped on the bottom in a way that makes them unplayable. I absolutely loved these shoes and if my newly ordered LeBron XXs don't work out for me, I'm reordering these ASAP.... Show more

Deez Cuts
These are probably my favorite basketball shoes of all-time.Pros: cushioning makes it easy to run for as long as you'd like comfortably, and the grip makes it so easy to change directions at will. Haven't turned my ankle yet - that happens a lot with other shoes. Replaced the mesh from the GTC1 with some tougher fabric, so it won't rip like it did before. Great low profile helps for players who prioritize movement/speed/quickness above all else.Cons: the colorways could use some work. The tongue slips from the top of the foot over to the side. Stains really easily and tough to clean/wipe off dust/dirt. Definitely fits a bit small, and had some 'biting' from the shoe into my midfoot for the first few plays.Overall: Would say that technically, it's better than ...

Good for everyday wear and casual running
These shoes were comfortable right out of the box and stayed that way during my morning runs around the neighborhood. They gripped my feet well, had a nice bounce, and were responsive to my movements. It’s not as lightweight as other running shoes I’ve had but that’s to be expected because of the thick cushion of the base. I also miss that feeling of the shoes gripping the ground when you run.I’m usually a size 10 with average size feet (not wide or narrow) and thought these fit true to size.I got the coconut milk/cave purple combo which is a little more colorful than what I’d usually choose but I was trying to be more fun with my style. Love the mint green but thought there was too much peach around the lace area. I probably will only wear these while running ...

The black version would be great casual, everyday shoes because the design looks good and the shoes are very comfortable.... Show more

Great fit for slender feet
I have skinny, high arched feet and these were a lot more comfortable than I anticipated. Spongy bounce under the front of the foot. They feel pretty snug compared to what I’m typically use to in most shoes, so my feet don’t slip out. That’s not something I get a lot with such slender feet. It’s nice. Not sure how they would feel for wide feet. Another feature I appreciate is the breathable tongue because my feet put off a lot of heat. I don’t love the accordion look of the back heal, but looking at them from the top I think they are super cute.... Show more

Heel slippage and bad court feel
I really wanted to love this shoe. Looking to replace my go-to Kobe 11 elite lows after years of playing. These look sweet, and are comfortable to wear, but not a sturdy lock down basketball shoe for a fast moving athletic guard, IMO. I've only played in them once, on an indoor court. Sizing is weird. I finally found a size that feet my feet, but during play my feet were moving all over inside the shoe. Really bad heel slippage to the point I thought my shoe my fall off a couple times. I never felt locked down. Also, the thick cushioning of the sole /insole is too high, so disappointing "court feel". Overall I felt unstable and like I was just asking for an ankle sprain. For the price and the hype, I expected a better product. I much prefer my old 6yr old Kobe's ... MoreI really wanted to love this shoe.

Make sure to size up
Other shoesThese shoes are said to be gender neutral. That veins said, I expected them to fit my husband like his other shoes from this brand. It’s not so much the length that doesn’t fit him, but the width. He’s a men’s true 9 (at other stores he can even slip into an 8.5) and he could barely fit this shoe on his foot. I should have known better and ordered a full size up, a 10 would have fit much better, but then I worry while the width would fit the length may be off. I just think these are too narrow for a man’s foot. The shoes themselves are light-weight and comfortable for running. The padding is very comfortable, you could wear these for errands or for working out. The heal is very specially comfortable. The colors themselves are a muted enough tone that I ...

The colors themselves are a muted enough tone that I would say they are gender neutral. The pink where the laces go is more of a peach color, but the inside lining pink while a pale pink has a sheen to it. All in all I would lean more towards purchasing for a woman but if a man has no fear of pink this is a great shoe for anyone. Just make sure to size up at least a half from your regular size (I would even say a full size for my husband). One last note is that the more foam texture on the sizes had little balled up areas and I feel like these will wear quickly on that part of the shoe. See pictures for what I mean.... Show more

Very comfortable
This shoe is very comfortable. The sole is very cushy and supportive for doing daily activities. Ideal for people with wider feet because I feel like they run wide and are a little bulky. I could easily wear this shoe all day. I would not recommend them for exercise because they are heavy. It felt it challenging to walk on the treadmill & complete a HITT workout with them on. They look great with leggings. Because they have a heavy bulky look I did not like the look of them with jeans. Love the green and pink color- so cute. Overall I would recommend them for people looking for a comfortable shoe to complete random tasks.... Show more

Very Comfortable!
When I received these shoes the box said mens 9, womens 10.5. I usually wear a size 9.5 in women’s sneakers, so I was surprised they fit. I would order at least a half size up from your normal shoe size if you’re a woman. They were snug, but not in a bad way. I feel that it adds to the comfort of the shoe. This shoe also has great grip. If you need to be able to stop on a dime these are definitely the shoes you want. The shape of the shoe to me is like a traditional basketball shoe. I don’t feel that it looks very feminine aside from the colors. I’ve been having some foot issues recently so for me personally, comfort is the most important factor right now.... Show more

Zoom GT Cut 2
I started the new year with determination to strengthen my muscles and lead a healthier life style. I started out slowly with morning walks. Building endurance and taking longer and longer walksI received my Zoom GT Cut 2 in the mail. The color scheme of the shoe is great, with black embellishments and fairly neutral colors that could be easily matched to my workout outfits, which is something I always consider, sometimes looking great helps with feeling great.After putting them on I was afraid that they may be a bit too snug. After my very first morning walk with my new shoes, I really appreciated the support the shoe offers, it feels very structured and supportive, they are wider at the ball of my foot and the heel.

They traction on the bottom of shoe made for great control.Another great feature is the breathability of the fabric, my feet stayed very comfortable. There is a lot of snow and slush still on the ground and my feet stayed dry and warm.The support of the shoe was so comfortable that I ended up wearing them all day on several occasions.I would definitely recommend these shoes to a friend....
