I wasn't feeling the Static colorway at all...Then I walked into Footlocker on release day, copped them on the spot.
Adidas shoes for me can be pretty tricky with the sizing for me, I have wide arches.
Stan Smith - TTS. Pure Boost/Ultra Boost - .5 size up.
The fitting with the Lillard 2's, I went with my true sz10 but I still have a tad bid room in the toe box, but I couldn't go half size down because of my arches.
I tried them on with Nike Elite socks and they solved the fitting problem for the most part. Lockdown is surprisingly on point and I didn't really experience heel slip like Schwollo (I think) did in his review.
I've had almost 3 hours playing in these so far. The court that I rent out with a group on Sundays, not too much dust and these were solid. Another court for my rec league game, dusty,
didn't have the best experience. Will try to see if breaking in the rubber more can help, but honestly, I know the problem is the pattern, the lines are way too close together. But I'll give it more time to deliberate.
The Bounce cushioning is so legit to me. Honestly I don't know why I expect a lot of cushions to give me extra feedback, then come out disappointed. I know a lot were high on microG, but those weren't all that responsive to me, though that didn't take away how much I loved the 1st Clutchfit Drive. Lunar in basketball shoes, I never enjoyed. With these Lillard 2's I'm getting decent feedback, along with really great shock absorbtion, which is what I need, in my case, tedonitis in my left knee and tendonosis (chronic tendonitis) in my right knee. Love it man (the cushion, not the knee pain). I forgot who said it, but one review I saw for these said that Bounce is like the foam equivelent to Zoom Air and I almost completely agree.
Overall...I really like em' and one of the first hoop shoes in a long while that I'm OK purchasing at retail.
Nothing too fancy. I like to keep it simple with the colors and had to get the gum outsoles.
