The Nike Zoom GT Hustle 2 is a low-profile, agile guard shoe that boasts a full-length Zoom Air Strobel. Of the bunch, the Nike GT Run was clearly the weakest model, so Nike has decided to sub that model out for the GT Hustle. It also seems that the GT Hustle 2 will be Victor Wembanyama’s shoe for 2023-24 which is odd because it is very clearly a low-profile guards shoe. The GT Hustle 2 is actually very reminiscent of the first Nike GT Cut, which is high praise ’cause that shoe was awesome. The GT Hustle 2 is a guard’s dream in terms of cushioning and is very reminiscent (as we have mentioned) of the OG GT Cut.

The Skechers Razor Excess 2 is a carbon fiber plated, max cushion running shoe following in the footsteps of the original (and well-reviewed) Razor Excess. That’s what I have to say about the Razor Excess 2. After really enjoying both the Skechers GOrun Max Road 5 in 2021, as well as the GOrun Razor 3 (chef’s kiss) back in 2018, I assumed that the Razor Excess 2 would follow-suit and be another great experience with Skechers. Especially when paired with the H-plate in the forefoot, the Skechers Razor Excess 2 pops. The extra arch support on the Skechers Razor Excess 2 may work well for flat footers that need a lot of arch support.

The gym I usually play in has partially thick flooring, where the Mizuno Wave Momentum 2 felt fine. Lockdown (Upper Fit)The lockdown in the Mizuno Wave Momentum 2 is a little odd.

Having the Jordan 36, one of the year’s best performance shoes, at his disposal, he chooses to go with the rather disappointing Jordan 35 and these “non signature signatures”, the Jordan Zoom Separate. However, the shoe’s performance is inconsistent, so perhaps that’s why Jordan Brand didn’t want the Zoom Separate to be Wonderboy’s first signature. So without any further ado, let’s get into the performance review of the Jordan Zoom Separate. OverallThe Jordan Zoom Separate is a specific shoe for a specific type of player. One thing’s for sure: stepbacks are a joy to do in the Zoom Separate.
