Traction
Same traction pattern as Immortality 1 with a hard rubber compound. Solid grip on clean courts but dust-sensitive and may need wiping.
7.1
Cushion
Firm, responsive foam setup. Provides excellent court feel and quick feedback but offers limited impact protection for heavy landings.
7.0
Materials
Engineered mesh with fuse overlays and synthetic leather accents. Lightweight and breathable but feels thin and may show wear sooner.
7.9
Support
Locked upper with a wide base and outrigger. Provides reliable lateral stability and keeps players centered during cuts.
7.8
Fit
Runs true to size with a glove-like, snug fit initially. Upper stretches with play and the toe box becomes roomier over time.

Outdoor
Hard rubber outsole should hold up outdoors. Durability and traction on rough courts are acceptable for casual outdoor use.

The Nike Giannis Immortality 2 is a solid shoe for the price. The materials are the best part of the shoe, and the support is there, too.

The Nike Giannis Immortality 2 is a step back from the original. I had fit issues caused by the materials. The traction performed well after breaking it in, and the cushioning is responsive, though.

The Nike Giannis Immortality 2 is a solid budget offering, but it doesn't do much to differentiate itself from last year's Immortality 1. It has the traction, fit, and support needed for most guards on a budget.

The Nike Giannis Immortality is an above-average performer but remains a very good budget option. The traction and responsive cushion make it a solid pick for smaller, quicker players.

It’s like the immortality 1 but the materials are better imo. Very lightweight, responsive cushion, good traction on dust. I went up a half size because the first immortality was fittings me very snug and I have a narrow foot. If you go true to size we aware of really snug fit. Just a must for lightweight players that are fast and need something light. These are a banger imo for the price you can get them rn. I got them for 45 usd

The Giannis Immortality 2 is a good shoe for hoopers on a budget. De traction is 'ok', it holds up pretty well outdoors too. I have slightly narrow feet and the shoes fit me like a glove. The materials are comfortable en breathable bus feel a bit cheap in hand. The big downfall for me is the cushioning. You barely feel the impact protection and there is no bounce. Overall a solid budget shoe.

Everything is good about the shoe it has top tier traction good impact protection and comfort the heel is a bit high but its easy to get use to its very bouncy and comfortable and fits perfect the only problem is the lateral stability and cheap material but its not that bad its the shoe is underrated and overhated the lateral stability isn't that bad and the materials are good for the price

I used this shoe outdoors and the traction was good and the cushion was alright as well. The materials are very breathable but very soft if that’s something you like. My only problem with this shoe is the support because sometimes my foot feels like it’s coming out of the shoe but besides that, really good shoe for it’s price

I have played over a year in this shoe and I had no issues apart from the cushion which was very stiff and low quality. Apart from this the traction was great and support me on all moves on the court. Overall this shoe is a great budget friendly option and comes with some amazing colour ways.

If you play on clean courts, you won't have any problems with traction. I did sometimes slide on dusty courts, though.

The traction pattern is the same as the first shoe, and it took some time to break in. Once broken in, it performed well. I would place it just below top-tier.

My foot stretched against the materials during play. Lateral containment was solid, but the roomy fit and materials meant my foot was not snug on the footbed. Lateral stability was not an issue, though.

There's some length at the end of the shoe, and the materials stretch to make the toe box roomy. I liked the fit right out of the box, but the more I played in them, the more the fit stretched.
