After all these years I still feel like a 90s kid on a Saturday morning when I see one of y’all’s reviews pop up on my feed, especially when it’s a brand new model! Love the education, transparency & flat out honesty! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Played in these yesterday. It’s like walking on a bouncy trampoline. Elite cushioning and surprisingly it has stability. Was able to play comfortable defense and shifty offense without feeling like I was tipping over or about to roll my ankle. Idk how Nike did it but they did it. These are way better than the GT Jump 1s and the GT Cut 2s. The only shoe that I think can outperform these are the Jordan 38s
Reminds me of an updated and revised version of the LeBron 17 because of the zoom pods and rear cushion switch from air max to react. Glad to hear the GT Run will return albeit under a new name and to hit all three I’ll just say that the first GT cut should always be in production in its OG form. That shoe was amazing.
Amazing shoe, bought one pair, definitely add some vertical, helps protecting the foot and the heel, it is stable and has good outdoor endurance. Its actually rewarding you for jumping and moving fast, more power and speed you create it helps you jump higher, you just need to get used to it since it adds like 1.5 inches once you put them on. Walking around in them is like walking on clouds. Really really good shoe, maybe its not for everyone, but for heavier one or two foot jumpers or runners its absolutely amazing. Im 6.4 240 and its amazing. I went up half a size and its perfect after breaking in.
As a 90's kid, I remember the smell of new sneakers and can relate to Chris when he does that; also, I clearly remember 90s Nike sneakers had better foam and the herring bone traction was omnipresent on all Bball shoes and the compound was softer and comfortable af.
I love these. They look like a cross between the GT Run, GT Jump, Jordan 34s, and Lebron 19 Lows. Definitely an intriguing shoe. I also think these would be a great fit for OG Annuoby. He's always wearing the LeBron 19 lows. Looks like a shoe for a shifty guard / wing that also plays great defense.
As a 240 lbs 33 year old, i can appreciate these. Kinda weird to me how Nike sells work, in Canada they weren't member exxlusive, i actually got them last week without a membership.
Played in these a few times right now, and I love it. Cushioning is the softest I’ve tried, so heavier players with foot problems are going to be fine. Lighter players, look elsewhere. You’re not going to maximize the features of this shoe. The bounce that you get from those zoom pods are amazing too. You will surely jump higher with this shoe. Running was also better compared to the Jump 1s, but since you’re pretty high off the ground due to that thicc sole/cushion, it’s not better than other low or mid top shoes.
This exactly what I was looking for. I’m a relatively built dude and 6’2, with that plus my play style (plus the fact I broke my right ankle years ago) I really look for cushioning and sneakers built for bigger guys
@@KJK51192 i have a lot of ankle probs myself but i was ok in the Jump2. Though the height and the mid-cut ankle support might be a concern if u have really bad ankles. Moving laterally was ok, but if ur going top speed trying to keep up with shifty guards, beware.
This looks really good. Can't wait for the review because I'm wondering how the cushioning affects court feel since it rides pretty high off the floor.
For sure court feel was traded for cushioning but the good thing is it's stable as chris said. With that full length zoom strobel, i'm actually waiting for a good colorway
Don't sleep on these, they're 🔥🔥🔥 I've had mine for a couple of weeks and they're really good!! I've got 4 pairs of the GT Jump 1's (that's how much I liked them), but these are next level.
@borisfishman7553 I find these are more comfortable, have better court feel, grippy, I feel my foot is more contained while still keeping the extensive cushioning and support. I didn't think they could improve on the 1's, but they did. These have become my go-to shoes for games/scrimmage
These might be the sleeper of 2023. For the money and what kind of insane technology your getting its a smart buy. The shoes will adapt to your constant movements and it will predict your muscles tensions from foot foundation all the way to your Achilles. It’s an amazing shoes. Nike zoom technology just got a big update. 💪
I love how you mentioned those Nike Air Flight Turbulence heel tap! Those are so 96-97 era.Another classic review would be for the Nike Air Zoom Flight Five. Amen brother Chris ;)
Thanks for the review Chris! I'm a guy who prefers midcut shoes, and most "midcut" these days really aren't. Also, I have a bulkier build, so these shoes fit the bill for what I'm looking for. Shoutout for mentioning the Air Flight Turbulence!!! I had those back in the 1997-98.
Im a brazilian with old knees too. I know your pain. Small/medium fissures on my cartilage. So i bought AJ 36 low in this year and helped my jump, and my pain too. The gt jump 2 are better than de AJ 36? Or similar to the lebron xx?
@@filipeschroeder7243 GT Gut 2s are similar to 1s I'd say as far as cushions/knee protections. But better stability I'd say since they're slightly lower. Lebron xx are much less cushion imo. Tudo bem my friend (my ex was a Brazilian lol) 🙏
I ordered a pair. I love the style and way it looked and seems to be best for the ankle. As I age I only like the shoes that seem good for the ankle and heel. That’s why I can’t hoop in the LeBron Shoes no more. Every time he had a foot or ankle issue I did as well. It’s more of a low top whereas this GT 2 seems to have just as much cushion or more with better ankle support and stability.
Air Turbulence= Damon Stoudamire’s!! He’s the player I associate with them the most. I had a pair & LOVED THEM! From a time when Nike Basketball ran things. Thanks for that Chris.
MAN once I seen the thumbnail on this I couldn’t and I mean COULD NOT wait! Then I missed it for 2 days cause of work I’m so ready for these lite version cause I love Jokic why I got them but man I need a shift shoe for the big man
Aesthetically they look massive and overall better from the previous Jump. The quality and the technology of the shoe have been upgraded without sacrificing the performing.
getting back to ballin at my local ymca, ran into your channel the knowledge the production value is immaculate. Keep on the great content, just sold me on this pair 🫡
It looks to me that they "absorbed" the Run model to the Jump 2 because the Jump 2's cut is, as far as I can see it, the same height as the Run (but lower than the higher cut OG Jump) Definitely interesting
Totally agree. It’s actually more of a successor to the Zoom BB NXT. I have both that and the jump 2s, and where the Jump 2s excel is in their stability and a slightly lower ride.
It's a little tight, but it works.....That's what she said! All kidding aside, if these are anything like the Air Turbulence, they will be a pretty good shoe. Saw em on the Nike site, I think that I want to see em in hand before I decide. Thanks for another dope video from Weartesters.
I've been waiting for these! I can't wear the first version a 12 is super snug on my foot. I'm going to order a 13 this time around. Can't wait to play in these.
Really dig what Nike is doing with the bball line. A mix of heavy tech looking shoes with these and more lifestyle looking with deldon (w/ great tech), book, Freak and Ja. Hopefully Ja and Book have great tech since Freak seems lacking. Also these have a evolutionary Lebron look if they hadn't switched it up.
It looks like rhe original GT Jump had more cushion thank god i picked up 3 pairs and 2 of them i have not worn yet. When ever i go indoors to ball ill be use my black pair to ball.
Hey Chris I'm part of the weartesters online web. Thanks for making things simple. Also, could you recommend a light weight shoe but with good cushion for bad knee pain?
i’m not chris but i can recommend these + lebron 20. gt jump2 is lighter than the looks imply and cushion is crazy (good traction too) and the lebron 20 are just simply amazing. great cushioning and leightweight. also supportive and amazing traction if you’re looking for that too
Been waiting on Chris’ take on these. My heart and head want to hoop in the GT Cuts, but at 38, the jump 2s cushioning set up is what I actually need. Only negative is the plastic eyelets have been cutting into my ankle. No idea why. Been wearing mid and high socks with them too!
I have 2 pair of the 1's that I love playing in so I will get a pair of these at some point. I can't play in all these low top shoes that everyone where's. Gotta have a lot of ankle support
I wasn't interested in these until the new Electrics came out 2 weeks ago. Idk why. but I think these look fire with the Safari print along with the safety orange and neon green. Needless to say, I bought the Electrics this morning and looking forward to getting them in hand. If they're as comfortable as others are saying I may grab another colorway for work since I'm on my feet for my whole 8hr shift.
its a good looking shoe for sure. I wonder what they would look like in leather. I know why they say they make things they way they do now... move to zero and what not but I can not completely believe them on that. Anyways... yeah as a kid I would have wanted these for school.
I love the the first ones. I use them for casual wear, cuz old, jacked knees and ankles, and gravity bound... But feel great all day! The react foam does worry me. I got the AF1 react mids and they didn't feel great in the for-foot after a while. Heal was fine.. but the cut outs under the for-foot did nothing great for the comfort.
One of my favorite recents was the Nike Zoom BB NXT.. it seems like these are similar to those on another level. I want them but they probably will be a 75$ steal at some point(maybe). I'll wait till then... If they end up like the GT cut 1 then I'm outta luck 😵💫😔
I totally disagree with Nightwing when he says that these feel less springy than the originals. They definitely feel way more springy than the originals.
These look likeare the closest in my opinion to a '90's style Nike shoe. Not getting for my kid to hoop in, getting for me to be comfortable at her games lol

@@OneTermPresident yeah court needs to be clean AF

Ya but the 38 are garbage because the traction tears off in 3 hours

Hope to have mine this Friday! At 40, that cushion is very important! Especially when you’re a “short rebounder”.

These look beast right here. Pretty much Nike’s flagship at this point
Man speaking of traction. I used to love the air jordan 21's hearingbone patern DNA traction
MAN once I seen the thumbnail on this I couldn’t and I mean COULD NOT wait! Then I missed it for 2 days cause of work I’m so ready for these lite version cause I love Jokic why I got them but man I need a shift shoe for the big man
Cool little detail is the mini swoosh incorporated in the large swoosh
Just bought the black ones. And wow. Amazing. I have a drop foot from an Injury and helps a lot to walk
Aesthetically they look massive and overall better from the previous Jump. The quality and the technology of the shoe have been upgraded without sacrificing the performing.
I like that Surefire colorway in the black ones are nice to Nike react in the soul
getting back to ballin at my local ymca, ran into your channel the knowledge the production value is immaculate. Keep on the great content, just sold me on this pair 🫡
Great vid as usual, one thing to mention is that this is the shoe choice of Nikola "The Joker" Jokic!!
As a post player, I love shoes that have stability 💯
Honestly this shoe looks like it can become a classic down the line like how we look at some nike bball shoes from the 90s, today
I just got these today. Not sure why I got these but I like how they look. They just look different to me.
Great vid! I think I'll be buying these as my next hoop shoe. I'm impressed by all of the cushion and tech. Can't wait to try them.
Holla at me bro

Air Flight Turbulence! I had those as s kid in the 90's, played everyday on those, sick kicks! 🏀
I'm definitely getting it! Looks like a Jordan but comfortable.
I love comfort... so that's a cop for me... checkin the box ✔️
These are a must have for me. I got the joker versions last year and were extra comfy. 😎
Very cool shoe. The foam looks so squishy and nice. Will have to check these out.
Yo the kwid leonard cut scene was hilarious 😂
Love my pair, I have the other color way. These are a big man dream sneaker for playing down in the post. Your knees will thank you.
Man I want to try these on! The tech on these are crazy!
Just ordered white/sail/safety orange version. They were on sale. Plus the members discount.
It's a little tight, but it works.....That's what she said! All kidding aside, if these are anything like the Air Turbulence, they will be a pretty good shoe. Saw em on the Nike site, I think that I want to see em in hand before I decide. Thanks for another dope video from Weartesters.

i needed tha kawhi laugh this morning thanks 😆
No problem 😊
I need to order those next weekend I love those
The shoe looks mad comfortable
i got one yesterday! i think this is awesome! cushion is great!
Aw man, they're already ditching the high top...
I know bro I need some high top option
Yeah man why doesn't anyone wanna make Hugh tops anymore?
I got them and these are so far my favorite to play in by far I won’t ply in anything else
I loved the first iteration of this shoe. Gonna wait until these go on discount. All that cushion sounds amazing
They probably won't go on discount.
They’re on sale now on the Nike website
They look better than the 1s as well. Can't wait for a nice cw to try them.
Really dig what Nike is doing with the bball line. A mix of heavy tech looking shoes with these and more lifestyle looking with deldon (w/ great tech), book, Freak and Ja.

To your point - In DK handball is big and more and more are using hoop shoes.
I got mine for 60 bucks, at Burlington Coat Factory.
Bro!
Interesting shoe. Will check these out once they release.
Awesome review as always! 🔥🔥🔥
Wonder if Jokic will wear this version too or if he will finally get a signature shoe?
Im asked my self "were is the tech?" In the new shoes, then i saw the jordan 38 and this and every is clear now
Insane cushioning system…mmm…gotta try…too bad they did not make the forefoot a little wider with that thick middle sole.
I miss the Hyperdunk days. The Linsanity lows are one of my all time favourites. Is the GT line fit that slot?
I miss Hyperdunks. Those were my go-to bball shoes.
It looks like rhe original GT Jump had more cushion thank god i picked up 3 pairs and 2 of them i have not worn yet. When ever i go indoors to ball ill be use my black pair to ball.
Anyone know the price tag on these. My hooping days are long gone. But id definitely wear these. Cushion sounds great
I might get these. Never had this shoe model before. Interesting??!!😮
F___ Nike! Classic.👍🏽

Only negative is the plastic eyelets have been cutting into my ankle. No idea why. Been wearing mid and high socks with them too!
These look like some future ninja i dont play ball but ill put these on with some black cargo black shirt
Not gona lie these are dope 😊
Jesus! Those look insane!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Fire 🔥 Colorway
Yes I am really interested in the shoes they look beautiful
I have 2 pair of the 1's that I love playing in so I will get a pair of these at some point. I can't play in all these low top shoes that everyone where's. Gotta have a lot of ankle support

Great shoe but silly prices outside usa. Hope better colors will be out and will get it when prices divided by 2 in U.K.
I love the amount of technology on these but unfortunately I just cannot play in a shoe that is super high off the ground.
its a good looking shoe for sure. I wonder what they would look like in leather. I know why they say they make things they way they do now... move to zero and what not but I can not completely believe them on that. Anyways... yeah as a kid I would have wanted these for school.

Comfort-wise would you put these over the Jordan 38's?
I love the the first ones. I use them for casual wear, cuz old, jacked knees and ankles, and gravity bound... But feel great all day!

Black out colorway would be dope
Looks really comfy.. but still a shade of running shoes
can’t afford the jumps but i did the cop the jordan 85 tee very clean
🙏🏼
Those look a lot like the alphafly ... I always wonder when we'll get zoomx in a basketball shoe too unstable I think
I totally disagree with Nightwing when he says that these feel less springy than the originals. They definitely feel way more springy than the originals.
Air Max Turbulence!!! Beat those up in middle school
Those do look sick, but I think a red bottom would look way better
We're really blessed and spoiled with style. I wanna thank the most high the father i need.
These look likeare the closest in my opinion to a '90's style Nike shoe. Not getting for my kid to hoop in, getting for me to be comfortable at her games lol
I can't do anything with an air bubble. Bo bueno for knees. Heard traction is not good, as well
That T-shirt is on point, where did you pick it up?
JUS GOT THEM YESTERDAY...
Are they goood for wide feet and outdoor play?
@@rayzangeva315 THEY FEEL NICE & MY FEET R WIDE
These look fire for style
I want a outdoor version
Not gonna lie kind of digging these.
I want to buy them and I usually wear size 13, but I'm not sure about this specific fit. Any suggestions? Keep 13? Maybe higher?
Go with 13, same as you
Unrelated comment. I’ve been hoping for a video on the Adidas Crazy iiinfinity. 😭
