Great!

If you're searching for cheap retro chunky kicks from the Swoosh label, the Nike Zoom 2K fits the bill. That thickset sole has more muscle than the original pair, ready to flex and cushion the impact as you go pounding the streets. Even with a beastly sole, you'll love taking this to places as it's remarkably comfy, responsive, and ain't bottom-heavy.

Who should NOT buy it

Try the nike air jordan retro 3 wolf grey on feet shoes if you prefer a chunky and super comfy sneaker, priced at $10 less than the Zoom 2K. If you want a budget-friendly crease-free shoe, check out the nike lunargato boots sale clearance. Or hover over the chunky and mid-top selections under Nike's basketball sneaker selections.

Oversized sole cushions every step

Those who love styling up their streetwear garb with exaggerated heels adore how this shoe works to their advantage. Its fat midsole cushions the stress away from the feet and legs as they sport this regularly, even on hectic days.

It doesn’t feel like you’re strapped on a solid block

Vloggers describe how this shoe won’t make you feel like standing on a solid foam block. They are amazed by how the carved-out sections of the sole make it less compact and more flexible.

Next to its sole, the rubber wings are another real deal 

The upper’s main attraction is the rubber wings that wrap the sides of the shoe from the sole to the laces. The rubber wings help engulf the foot and enhance stability with the webbed lacing system.

Air bubble under the ball of the foot got bounce

The Zoom Air unit lodged right below the ball of the foot compresses and snaps back without delay. It allows for a bouncy ride and softens any tension under forefeet even when wearers stand for prolonged hours. Some of them have found this beneficial as they tackled multiple errands and sported them on leisurely weekends with their buddies.

It needs some breaking in

The leather cover feels stiff initially, so users resorted to giving it ample break-in time. They wore it frequently until their feet adjusted to the mold. Visible crease marks that can’t be undone through cleaning the shoe look dirty and unpleasant over time.

Superb quality for less than $90

Reviewers got glued to this style as it’s well constructed. The sneaker doesn't lack in quality as the leather and textile are neatly assembled. The rubber wings are well-stitched from the sole to the upper.

history

Nike reaches back to its past to bring together elements from its running and basketball archives into one creative explosion, the Nike Zoom 2K. Integrated with the responsiveness of Nike Zoom, as seen in many running sneakers, the Nike Zoom 2K carries the performance DNA of basketball shoes, reminiscent of those from the Nike Alpha Project. It offers a new aesthetic that bridges performance and style with ease.

This updated silhouette strongly hair the late-1990s to early 2000s hoops attitude while screaming the retro '90s fashion. Details like the mini logos to the bulging pods and bold curves all evoke that remarkable era of Nike basketball.

The new retro-inspired sneaker was introduced in three colorways, and Nike eventually released more colorways. Some of the most sought-after hues of Nike Zoom 2K are red, all white, and pink. Shoppers are also offered a wider variety of color options such as black/anthracite/black, sail/black/white, white/black, deep royal bacons/white/orange peel, wolf grey/dark grey/white, off white/university red/obsidian, oil grey/light cream, plum dust/pale pink/plum chalk, and all white.
