I thought they removed the heel zoom and replaced the entire Phylon with Cushlon? Upgraded the Forefoot to Zoom Turbo, and Cushlon in the Heel/Midsole. The Midsole definitely looks softer.

Do they actually release the 2k's the normal way or is it just 2k exclusive

That's how I interpreted the description as well, but a few other people in here said otherwise.

Unless you're skateboarding, heel zoom is 99% useless.
Even if with both forefoot and heel zoom, they're overpriced @ $180

Not feeling these at all. Will stick with the OG colorway.

Would love to get the 2k but expecting the L when they do the drop.

The shape of the protros look different. It's less sleek and seems higher cut?

My two cents.... they wouldn’t say ‘Zoom’ on the sole if there wasn’t ‘Zoom’ in the heel. You all are reading waaaaaay too much into the press release.

Who knows, maybe there's an encapsulated zoom unit in the heel. We'll find out when someone opens them up.
P
That's because the OG had zoom in the heel, and they can't remove the print on the heel since they have to stick to the same look.

I honestly don't really care if it's in the heel or forefoot. It just didn't sit right with me the **** that Nike pulled for the Protro 4s. Said it was full length zoom and when it was exposed that it in fact wasn't full length zoom they "corrected" their description.
I actually welcome the larger forefoot zoom bag in the Protro 5 as it seems like I mostly play on my forefoot anyway as you can see from how my outdoor kicks got beat up

Looks like the protro/retro runs big. Still gonna check them out. I passed in 2009-2010. Not sure why.

2K pair is really nice. If those can be had for a decent price they may be; otherwise still fake patiently waiting for the inevitable Bruce Lee’s

AD just switched out of the chaos Vs at halftime to the 4s. If these are anything like the OGs it takes a lifetime to break in
