I think I will be echoing what many others are saying that solid white/color outsoles are a must pick for the 808 2 Ultra. I understand why many purchased the Oxygen 808 2 Ultra cause it looks amazing! Assuming that Traction (which is Great) is the exactly same for both shoes, the Ultra is definitely an upgrade for areas like cushion, lockdown, court feel, and fit. You'll be satisified with either shoe.
i got the ultra with a translucent outsole. On a clean court i have zero problems, solid stops, no slipping what so ever. However, on a dusty court the translucent outsole seems to pick up to much dust and its quite hard to remove, it usually takes 3 or 4 swipes to get it to a good grip. But because of the effects the translucent outsole gets from attracting to much dust ig say get the regular rubber outsole on the ultra's.
Crappy customer support and this company refuse to exchange a defective pair for a new one. Had the 808 ultra less than 1 week and used it twice. The midsole completely fell apart after 2 use. Broke apart like regular Styrofoam. Filed claim with company, vmbut they refuse to stand by their product and refuse to exchange their defective product.
Wow bro thats sad. In my country we can ship them back and they give us coupons and some free gifts like socks and other accessories in our next purchase since we returned the shoe.
@@TommyLiu4 and I mean hopefully I'm not the first to remind you: you can put the Ultra/Boom drop-ins in your regular Honey Peachs 🔥 if you're just seeking that traction within what you have 👌
808 2 regular is great shoe. Traction is great, cushion is great, material ok and lock down is great. Haven't cop the ultra version as of yet. But I did a comparison between the converse all star pro bb evo and 808 2, the 808 2 has much more cushion than the converse.

Yup with some break in time the Ultra will be great. Because of the traction however just get the colorways that come with solid rubber outsole for the best performance.

@@blokemamba 🙌 Thank you so much! Yeah half size up would be the safest option, especially since you have wide and flat feet. If you prefer a snug fit, true to size will work too I feel like if I had gone TTS it would have been okay too.
There you go, some love to chinese brand. I'm hopin you would have review on Li-ning Speed IX premium, i have the VIII version and they 🔥🔥🔥. The IX version looks sick with 5 colorways. Hope you consider that. ✌️
It’s honestly so frustrating buying bball shoes. I keep buying the wrong outsole. I brought aj36 solid traction which performs worse than translucent. Then brought the ultra translucent which performs worse than the solid. So annoying.
for other people that see this, 10.5 is what i went for the ultra and I really liked it after the break in. this shoe is 100% a top performer for the year i really love it.
Which one would you go with if the reaction is the same? My son has the Ultra since he likes the Boom cushioning but he does complain about traction on dirty floors. We went half size up as recommended but they ran long. Considering getting a half size smaller but debating between the regular or the Ultra with solid rubber outsole. Appreciate the help
Yeah exactly on dusty courts the traction on the translucent outsole was not good. I’d recommend trying the regular, amazing traction performance from the Honey Peach colorway I have. Especially since he already has the Ultra, can also swap the midsoles if you decide to keep that pair.
@@kgflash4Sr Ah I see. If 10.5 was the half size up then 10 would work too. On the regular version that would help prevent heel slippage too, but either way it just depends on which type of fit he prefers (roomy/snug).
Hey Tommy, not sure on sizing. I wear a US9.5 (27.5cm) on Kyries but not sure whether get US9.5(27.0cm) /US10 (27.5cm) on the Wade 808 2s. Any advice? I have a normal arch foot thx :)
I went half size up in both versions and they were a good fit. But note that I have slightly wider feet. So especially the regular version, if you are TTS with the PG 6 then you can also go true to size for a more snug, right-on fit.
@@TommyLiu4 sounds great thank you. I was planning on getting the regular version in the same pink colourway that you got. Keep up the good work! Representing Canada !
Give it a try first! The only issue I had was traction, and if you normally play on a dusty court then maybe swap for a solid rubber outsole colorway for better performance? Great shoe tho.
@@mrfishboiii1217 I don’t know width numbers by each size. Whatever size you normally wear in Nike sneakers, that’ll work or you can go half size up. They also don’t make a size 12.5 so a 12 should work if you usually wear a size 11.5 or 12.
It was mainly due to dust pick up like I said in the video, but in general the regular version still had much better traction from my experience. If you were to get the ultra I’d recommend going with the solid rubber outsole ones.
@@TommyLiu4 well I’m going for performance, I don’t care about looks, I’m a point guard and I want the best shoes possible and I did research and apparently this is it. Can you tell me which outsole and everything else I should get?
@@TommyLiu4 so you’re saying ultra is better if it’s not oxygen? Also what outsole should I get. Same with everything else. Thanks btw I subbed and will watch more of your vids because your reviews are super great.
Ah that’s tough. Tbh I think going a full size up will be too big. If anything size 11 will be a better try, just might be snug but you can always swap for the bigger size later.
You might wanna throw the Speed 8 Premium in there, but it's a tough call. First purchase $15 off you really can't beat a $104 (no tax where I live) regular 808 2 particularly considering there are already aftermarket drop-in insoles on Taobao with added air units 🔥

Tommy Liu, which outsole is durable? The solid rubber or translucent?
Solid rubber outsole should be more durable.
Tommy, the other colorways which are the non translucent ones on the wade 808 2 ultra performs on par with the regular versions in terms of traction.
Ahh I see! Then they’ll be amazing for sure, but this translucent one is a no-go especially on a dusty court. Loved these so far in general!
Can confirm the solid rubber traction on the ultras is phenomenal
Is Just the blue version translucent?
Are you going get the Solid Rubber for the ultra
Tbh probably not, super happy with the regular version 😆
