[fdub]

Are these retro 2s full length Zoom?

Only heel and forefoot. The heel feels double stacked, though..

Was the OG FLZ?

No…Caged zoom…Bottom loaded…Forefoot and heel…

Are these retro 2s full length Zoom?

Its heel and forefoot but it might as well be full length; both units are huge. There used to be a photo online that showed the set up. If I remember correctly the tip of the toes and a little space around the outrigger are the only areas the two bags dont cover.

Was the OG FLZ?

No, from having the OG’s it was heel and forefoot. Super bouncy, but they bottomed out over time too. I don’t have the retros, yet. Waiting for them to release the black pair..

I remember the OGs being super responsive and comfortable when they were broken in.

When I tried on my pair of the retros last week, they were not nearly as comfortable out of the box. I forgot how stiff and unresponsive they were initially, at least for me.

I hope the retros break in nicely like my OGs did.

I found this link on NDC, even though it's for the LeBron 17, if you scroll down a little ways, you'll see a breakdown of the cushion set-ups for the previous LeBron models up to the 17: https://www.nike.com/basketball/lebron-17

Can confirm the 2’s are TTS. Since it’s been so long that I tossed my ASG versions I wonder if I could’ve made a 12 work back then instead of a 13.

Nike changed the price from $215 to $210. Not sure why.
If you bought before, just call to get that amount refunded back to your card.

wore them yesterday. breaks in quickly and they are very comfortable. I went tts and at first had the pinky toe issue but, like I said, they broke in quickly.

 

[C.Magneto]

no plans to release the black and reds tho right?

Pretty sure no, but it would be a gigantic failure on Nikes part to not just release the bred and all star pairs. There were only 3 gr colorways and Nike gonna only drop one .

 

[xplosivejeff]

Don’t worry though, Nike will give us new exotic head scratching colorways with fur and other premium materials

Those 3's so underwhelming.

Nike went super lazy on that color way, even by their own lazy standards.

 

[joex]

Agreed…they felt so random too

I get the barbershop theme and story. Unsure about using the 3 to promote it probably wasn’t the best execution but its coo i guess. Its a simple shoe simple cw.

They need to bring back the black/reds on these.

Speaking of these shoes:

Bruh... IV's are the GOAT. Only people with weak legs think they are heavy.
