Today I copped the all black colorway of the Shox Lethal. I also have a pair ordered from Nike iD that I'm waiting to receive. I just got done playing 5 pick-up games (in an indoor gym) wearing the Lethals so I'll try to give a decent review. I'm a 6 2" 205lbs guard who loves to slash and cut to the rim for big dunks & quick pull-up jumpers..
The first thing I noticed when putting them on is that they hugged my feet really good and they were very comfortable. When laced all the way up they offer GREAT ankle support. While playing in them my feet never slid around in them and they have really good traction. I've been playing in 2k5's before and as far as traction goes I think the 2k5's have slightly more traction because of the larger heel section. The Lethals feel just as light as the 2k5's and offer even greater support. The Zoom Air + Shox works great like all the other shoes that have the same setup.
I have to say I'm impressed the Lethals were so comfortable because @ only $100 I didn't think they'd feel as good as the 2k5's but to me they feel much better while playing in them especially when making hard cuts and jumping. Seems like the more I play in my 2k5's the more loose they start to get and I have to keep lacing them tighter and tighter to try to stop my feet from sliding around in them. The Lethals have good ventilation as my feet never got too hot. They also fit true to size. I can't think of anything else to say about them they were just so comfortable I didn't think about them while playing I was able to just concentrate on my game. My 2k5's are now for casual wear only.
