These are mine :) I posted on here a few days ago, but because I don't post often, my posts need mod approval.

Mine arrived this week!

For anyone hooping in the Jump2s, I'd be interested to know if you're getting any irritation or blistering from the second last double eyelet? I'm wearing quarter to mid high socks, but there's no padding on those double eyelets and it's cutting into my ankle. Nothing some tape/band-aids won't...

Solid review @23mj88. I like what you said about not thinking/caring much about the React in the heel, but once you play in them you realise how plush and good it feels. It's very different to the Zoom BB NXT which I found was a lot more unstable laterally, whereas the Jump2s seem to address...

It happened in my GT Cut 1s! I'm not blaming the shoe - I could have tied the shoes up tighter. But it happened. I planted, oddly with my heel and the drop in slipped and my foot hit the hardwood. I had no issues with the Cut 1s prior to that incident.

I'm currently working through some plantar facilities/heel fat pad pain. So the extra cushioning is welcomed for me. My issue with the Cut 1 and 2 was just the drop-in midsole stability. One time I tried to stop on a dime and I felt the whole midsole slip and my heel smashed into the court...

Had my first run in them last night for a couple hours. I'm 38 years old, so well past any sort of "prime". I definitely enjoyed the ankle lock down more than what I've had in the Lebron XXs and KD 15s. Weight wasn't an issue. Hard to ignore the higher ride, and you naturally give up court feel...

I think the the JUMP2s already sit quite low (much lower than the 1s), and any lower cut is going to feel weird based on how high off the ground your foot will be. It's interesting they went with a mid/low for the 2s considering how high the 1s were.

My Jump 2's arrived today. Loved the Cut 1s. Cut 2s were disappointing. Jump 1s sat too high on me and I couldn't break them in. I had the Zoom BB NXTs, which were too high off the ground, and was a little worried the Jump 2s would be the same. But they definitely feel lower. Will give them a...

What is the official release date on these? Poor Australian here that can't take advantage of the early drop on Finishline and JD Sports :(

Thanks for clarifying! Cheers.

Sorry if this is a dumb question. What does "Members ONly" "No Retail" mean? Members of what? Thanks!

Haven't played in a KD since the Elite 8's. Loved this colourway so had to pick them up. Heard the 14s performed great, so looking forward to giving these a go. Been hooping in the GT Cuts and Curry 9s, both are nice, but their negatives annoy me . Cuts drop in midsole can slip at times and...

My GT Jump - Zero colourway arrived today (Australia). Don't love this colourway, but really interested to see how they feel on court!

absolutley loving the GT Cuts. And this colourway is just insane! Need more pairs! Pics are from an open run we recently held in Perth, Western Australia's RAC Arena.
