Category Performance Ratings
9.0
Traction
Excellent grip on clean indoor courts with hard stops. It picks up dust and needs frequent wiping.
8.7
Cushion
Full-length Cushlon 3.0 with a forefoot Zoom unit. Plush and protective with great impact protection, but feels mushy and less responsive.
7.7
Materials
Textile base with moulded overlays and a mesh tongue. Provides structure but feels plasticky, creases easily, and has limited ventilation.
8.5
Support
Moulded upper and external heel counter with secure heel lock. Good lateral containment, but the midsole is soft and can compress, reducing stability.
8.0
Fit
Runs roomier than the A'One and breaks in to a snug, planted feel. Generally forgiving with a brief break-in period.
25%
Outdoor
Soft translucent rubber and thin grooves. Poor outdoor durability. The outsole wears quickly on rough courts.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to size for most players.

wide
Width
Very wide feet may prefer a half size up for added forefoot room.

These might be Nike's best basketball shoes right now. They nail the midsole, lockdown, and traction. Minor quibbles are the slight length, compression holes, and outdoor durability.

The A'Two is a solid performer. It's super comfortable with plush cushioning and good lockdown, but watch out for dusty courts and potential heel instability due to the soft midsole. At $145, it's a bit pricey. On sale, it's a great buy.

The Nike A'Two is a very comfortable, fun shoe that performs well. Traction and support are solid, and cushioning offers excellent impact protection. But the midsole is mushy, materials feel a bit cheap, and it's not ideal for outdoor play or guards wanting quickness.

The traction was a pleasant surprise. It grips very well, and after one wipe, it still held up on the dust test.

The traction is awesome. On clean courts, it bites super hard and gives very hard stops. It picks up dust on dusty courts, so you'll need to wipe more often.

The traction is really nice. It bites hard on clean courts. Dust performance is okay, but it can be hard to wipe off once it picks up dust.

The cushioning is very comfortable. Top-loaded Cushlon with a long Zoom Air forefoot gives good impact protection and lively bounce.

The cushioning is super comfortable. Full-length Cushlon 3.0 and a forefoot Zoom unit give a plush, protective ride. It lacks court feel and responsiveness, though.

The materials are okay. A textile base with a moulded overlay feels plasticky but provides structure and flexibility. The tongue is mesh and adequately padded.

Support is excellent. External heel counter and bulky padding lock the heel down. The top-loaded shank gives rock-solid midfoot stability.

The lockdown is solid, and the heel feels locked in. The cushion is very soft, though and can lead to over-compression, which may affect heel stability on heavy landings.

The moulded upper and external heel counter give good lateral containment and no heel slip. The very soft midsole made the shoe feel a bit unstable.

The fit locks the heel in really well. Tongue padding prevents lace irritation. It feels a bit long and can bunch in the forefoot, but that breaks in.

The fit is comfortable. Slight forefoot snugness at first, but it breaks in. The half-bootie upper gives a close, planted feel with minimal dead space.

The fit is roomier and more forgiving than the A'One. It still provides a snug feel once broken in, but the width is noticeably looser.

Not the most durable for outdoor use. Narrow tread and a 0.4 g loss on the sander suggest it won't hold up forever outdoors.

I would not recommend this at all for outdoor use. The soft translucent rubber and thin grooves will wear out quickly.

The shoe fits medium in width. 2E wearers should be fine true to size, but 4E may be a mismatch due to the length.

It can be slightly narrow in the forefoot area depending on how wide your feet are.

If you have a medium foot, go true to size. Narrow feet can go down a half size for a tighter, performance fit.

I went true to size and felt pretty good. Normal, narrow, and slightly wide footers should be good true to size. Really wide feet may want a half size up.
