Great review! The only thing I personally like about the GT Cut 2 is the insole. For me, GT Cut 1 has been the most perfect hoop shoe for my feet. But I do wish it had more cushion in the heel, since they've bottomed out pretty quick. With the GT Cut 2, when I cut hard, the upper material has no give so it's pretty painful for my feet (rip-stop kite material). The GT Cut 1 feels much better and comfortable all around. So I decided to swap insoles and put the GT Cut 2 insoles inside my GT Cut 1, I can't go back to anything else. It's the most perfect set-up for me. Too bad it takes 2 pairs to make my favorite pair.
For me, comparing this with the Lebron 20s, I’d prefer the GT Cuts. For some reason, it’s super cushioned plus the drop-in midsole form makes my foot want to propel forward (and the comfort plus bounce is just crazy). Whereas with the LeBrons, it’s too low for me in my opinion then its cushlon midsole makes my foot sink in more.
I returned my GT Cut 2s, imo they are so much worse the the 1s. Had heel slippage, heel traction felt nonexistent, and toes definitely kept getting jammed up. Best part of the 2s is the smear traction.
I actually had a ton of traction issues with the 2. I had to return them because I felt that the traction was pretty trash. I only played with them indoors, and I felt that the traction design and overall foot feel was too diff from the beloved Gt cut1s
Lockdown is terrible with this shoe. My left shoe came off during play even though I had them tied so tight I lost feeling in that same foot. If you’re considering these just buy the Lebron 20’s instead.
I feel like the tongue rings dig into my feet on my pair and it lowkey hurts. Also the heel slippage is pretty bad on these even when tied super tight with a runners not. I would pick a shoe like the lebron 20/nxxt over these any day of the week
i had to go up half a size. The traction is fantastic. There's a bit of heel slippage whether I wore my size or sized up. That was fixed by using a runner's lace lock technique. Then I blew out my calf.
I really like the 2 but somehow my left insole feels like a bubble in the forefoot like it would pop any secone if I put more strength into it. Anyone has the problem too?
Mmm weight distribution? Balanced? Mm idk I would say it’s bottom heavy just by trying them on and simply looking at em. Won’t be much of a difference on court tho. Hopefully I can get some at clearance. And rocking ankle braces all the time at your age? Hopefully not too much. Gotta allow your ankles to strengthen.. if anything I only wear them during highly competitive Rec league games. Otherwise don’t do it kids.
I agree it’s still bottom heavy, but for me not as exaggerated as the GT1 esp. after a long break in time. Thanks for looking out! I do switch between playing w/ and w/out braces👍
Oof, history suggests this model goes downhill. Hyperfuse 1 was amazing, all other hyperfuse models were not comparatively same with the bb1 to the bb2
@@FibaFanatic lets give time for the new performance reviewers tho. They'll come to their own style of presenting their review(entertainment factor lacking? not sure I am a nobody). They can ball for sure so we know the shoes will be tested for sure.
@@rymace2261 I also grew up watching Chris doing reviews, but I feel Jackson and Allen has been doing a great job on their own. It is definitely different, but time is inevitable for all. I hope Chris continues to train more, so we have more diversity in on-screen talents.
Great job by Allen, gave us the specs and the good and not so good aspects of the shoes. Thanks for another great video from Weartesters.
Another great review from Allen. The weartesters are all doing great and providing very insightful reviews. Thank you.

Been waiting on the performance review for these for a while.
Allen with another great review!!💯🙏
Really solid review. 6:24 is a great piece of info to help with the tongue movement.
I really liked this review, complete and straight to the point! Great job!

great review Allen
I returned my GT Cut 2s, imo they are so much worse the the 1s. Had heel slippage, heel traction felt nonexistent, and toes definitely kept getting jammed up. Best part of the 2s is the smear traction.
Same I had instances of where a whole shoe would come off while I’m driving these things are a safety hazard .
Maybe GT Cuts isn't for you. More like a runners shoe less of a cushion high top jumpy basketball shoes with a lot of stability.
Another solid review!
Keep it up, appreciate the reviews 👍
Well done Allen!
Awesome review Allen! Love these shoes
The lacing system for GT cut 2 is horrible. It doesn't contain my heel and i feel like it's gonna slip out
Haha heck yeah, was literally thinking today, this exact video would be great right about now 😂👌
Great extensive review. Think I would stick with the 1's
Excellent work on this! Can you please do performance review on the freak 4? 😃
I think the GT cut 2’s look better imo
Lmao
No
@@zafplays98 yes
Nah
@@ar2k20 they do look better
I actually had a ton of traction issues with the 2. I had to return them because I felt that the traction was pretty trash. I only played with them indoors, and I felt that the traction design and overall foot feel was too diff from the beloved Gt cut1s
PLEASE tell me Allen is a Community fan. That scene with Donald Glover/Troy Barnes is so good!
I will definitely give these a chance👍
Really prefer the GT Cut 1 look, but will try to get a pair of the 2s!
Hi Allen, is that outdoor court in La Palma Ca? Looks familiar to me. Great review
Yes! Central Park
@@allensison we can go hoops sometime. I live in Cerritos
I sprained my ankle in the first time playing in these 😢 but i still love them
You must be booty
Lockdown is terrible with this shoe. My left shoe came off during play even though I had them tied so tight I lost feeling in that same foot. If you’re considering these just buy the Lebron 20’s instead.
I thought I was the only one , I was thinking about trying a half size down
I slipped a lot while I was doing crossover.This shoe's traction is bad at spinning or sideways even if it's in indoor hardwood courts.
i heard it depends on how the courts finish is so if it’s glossy ur gonna slip more
I feel like the tongue rings dig into my feet on my pair and it lowkey hurts. Also the heel slippage is pretty bad on these even when tied super tight with a runners not. I would pick a shoe like the lebron 20/nxxt over these any day of the week
I liked the 2s wish they had some better colorways tho I like my green pair the best but those PKI black and gold 🔥
is it normalnthat even tho i added 1+ size in the shoe my foot is literally touching the tip of the shoe
What about sizing? True to size is it ok?
i had to go up half a size. The traction is fantastic. There's a bit of heel slippage whether I wore my size or sized up. That was fixed by using a runner's lace lock technique. Then I blew out my calf.
The get cut 2’s are comfy but I get really bad blisters from them
Man I recognize that court and I may have played in there before. SUPER dusty. I also have a pair of the GT Cut 2 and it grips great at that court.
I really like the 2 but somehow my left insole feels like a bubble in the forefoot like it would pop any secone if I put more strength into it. Anyone has the problem too?
i dont have that problem, both of my insoles feel normal
Are those gt cut 1,2,3 low or mid shoes?
Mmm weight distribution? Balanced? Mm idk I would say it’s bottom heavy just by trying them on and simply looking at em. Won’t be much of a difference on court tho. Hopefully I can get some at clearance.
And rocking ankle braces all the time at your age? Hopefully not too much. Gotta allow your ankles to strengthen.. if anything I only wear them during highly competitive Rec league games. Otherwise don’t do it kids.
I agree it’s still bottom heavy, but for me not as exaggerated as the GT1 esp. after a long break in time.
Thanks for looking out! I do switch between playing w/ and w/out braces👍
They feel tight even tho I got the right size is that normal I barley got em
Would you be willing to do a review on those Zamst ankle braces?
I can probably make a short vid !
@@allensison great! looking forward to it
just my opinion, the traction missing out in the mid section, so if you plant like what he did 2:00, you WOULD slideeeeee
I just poked through the heel zoom, so I could be more contained inside the shoe.
How was the sizing?
Most mid shoe I have ever put on walked around in them for 5 mins and returned them
Bro you play at Central Park in la palma?! Lol
GT cut 2 vs 808 2?
What is GT stands for?
Greater than
Best low tops of 2022 vid?
Cut 2 looks like the epic reacts
gt cut 2 or kd 15 ? help :(
why do these low-key look like NB fresh foam Cruz
I have the Devin Booker PE version
Ayo how bout that Brea community center court though haha wtf. That’s my OG court
Oof, history suggests this model goes downhill. Hyperfuse 1 was amazing, all other hyperfuse models were not comparatively same with the bb1 to the bb2
Amen!
I still need to know what that song is mannnnnn
It’s a custom track we use!
What are you talking about bro? Its even more bottom heavy then the first one...
Thought so too at first! They’re close. imo, it felt better after a long break in time
Pinoy ka po? Galing mo mag review
For these I would most likely double sock
I thought Chris (Nightwing2303) himself used to do the reviews? What's happened to the channel?
Load management. Sadly all of us get old.
@@rymace2261 That's a shame. I watched his vids for years. Does he still do them?
He's training the new wave of shoe reviewers because sadly, over a decade of intensive shoe testing took a toll on his body
TLDR he gettin old

Way of wade 808 2

That shoe is trash. I could not put that ugly ass thing on my foot for $160. How did they go from the first one to that???
2 words. Heel slippage!!! Absolutely unacceptable!!!
You Pinoy?
#PUSO
