^do not need ATM but I love the color scheme on them

 

[thapointguy]

Good thing I didn't buy the mids version yet. Will get the lows later on.

Best colorway so far

I'm returning my Curry 2's and I'm thinking about getting these, but I might end up just waiting for Curry 2 lows.

But something NW said in his review made me miss playing in straight up Micro G.  Might just get some more OG Drive lows while they're available.  I broke out my black/gold Mudiays yesterday and man did I miss playing in the CF Drive.

Damn, they are so similar to the ISI Curry 2 but I still want those Mudiay PE's

I think my FTL that's getting the professional curry 2 on Friday is getting those drive 2 lows as well. Definitely want to try them on

Shame, no MD logo on the tongue. Flag is cool though.

Go at least a half size up on the Drive 2. TTS (same size as Curry 2) is a little tight. Not uncomfortable, but .5 size up works for casual wear.

Whew, with those Maryland lows and the Mudiay lows, I think I'm in for at least one pair.  Maybe even another pair of OG Drive lows since Micro G seems to be getting phased out.

Interesting that the Drive 2 Low seems to be the true successor to the first Drive, at least visually.  Usually it's the Mid that keeps a lot of elements and the lows that get all changed up, but it seems to be the opposite here.

How's the cushioning compared to the CFD 1 Lows? Which one is more plush

2 is definitely better in cushioning. Hope this helps. 

Tried to line the collars up so you can see there's more cushioning in the sole on the 2

Tongue and padding around the ankle are also more cushioned on the 2. 

sorry the photos aren't great

Pics are cool for me.  The toe box of the 2 looks narrower as well.

Got back from HOH on lunch break.  Didn't have a whole lot of time (meetings/work engagements this afternoon) -- I couldn't try them on, but I did hold the lows in the grey/blue mudiay PE.  

I think I'll like them quite a bit actually.  Will hold out but may pick up some down the road

Yup. Discounts should come.

My FTL didn't get their shipment of the Bolt Orange yet so I might just order online. Was able to scoop up the Professional Curry 2's though

 

[deezyvsop2]

Eastbay has a B. Jennings PE on their release calendar, same day as the ND and Maryland PE's.  The PE lows are saving this shoe in my opinion.  I like the ND lows, Maryland aways and Mudiay PE's.

 

[thapointguy]

BJ PE are too loud for me.

Bolt orange lows off discount exclusion already lol.

 

[deezyvsop2]

Yeah if they did a white base with blue/red accents like the pair iks picked up.  That one is a little too Clippers-ish for me.  I'm glad they're still showing Jennings love though.  He was the first to really rock with UA.

I'm looking at either the Bolts on discount or a Maryland pair.  I want to see everything that's dropping in December.

Dec. 26

Am I the only one that prefers micro g over charged cushioning ?

 

[deezyvsop2]

I prefer the Micro G from the Clutchfit Drive over what was used in the Curry 1.  I also liked the charged from the Curry 2 over the Curry 1.

I think something that gets lost in all the hype and new tech is that these are still corporations we're talking about.  Let's not forget that companies are out to cut costs and make money.  Whatever fancy labeling or dressing they put on new tech. doesn't matter if there isn't any substance.  I mean, does anyone really think Kobe X's and XX9's are worth $200+ and the recent Curry pack was worth $400?

Micro G seems to be getting phased out in UA basketball for charged and that tells me (pure speculation of course) that UA found a cheaper way to implement a cushioning system that is still satisfactory.  Not saying one is better than the other, because it's definitely a preference thing and I prefer Micro G.  It just seems like everyone who tried Micro G loved it and there was no reason to mess with a good thing, yet here we are where both UA flagship shoes don't have it.

Anyone cop the black/orange? If yes, would appreciate pics!
