Category Performance Ratings
8.3
Traction
Rubber outsole with unspecified pattern. Strong stopping power on indoor courts but needs brief break-in and attracts dust.
7.5
Cushion
Full-length Micro-G foam. Minimal and very responsive ride with low compression and limited impact protection.
9.0
Materials
Mesh and neoprene-like upper. Soft and comfortable but thin and prone to stretching, which raises durability concerns.
8.0
Support
Lateral containment and stable base. Provides good side-to-side support but upper lacks rigidity and a wider base.
7.0
Fit
True to length but stretches over time. Starts snug then the stretchy upper can leave forefoot dead space after wear.
0%
Outdoor
Rubber frays and is very pliable. Not recommended for outdoor play due to poor outsole durability.
small
large
Sizing
Runs true to length for most. Narrow footers may prefer half size down while wide footers can go true to size.
narrow
wide
Width
Fits regular to wide feet best. Forefoot dead space suits wider feet but material stretching can worsen long term fit.

It's not my favorite hoops shoe, but it might work for guards with wider feet who are looking for a very responsive shoe.

I don't recommend the UA Spawn 2. Cushioning was really bad, traction wasn't good, and the fit didn't work for me at all. Even at $100, there are much better performers out there!

It was a very overall comfortable shoe but I experienced lots of slippage in the soles to the point where I just replaced them.

Traction is easily the best aspect of the Spawn 2 as stopping power is great on all types of surfaces.

The traction takes a little time to break-in to become good. Unfortunately, the grip is a little worse and the rubber picks up more dust compared to last year's version of the UA Spawn.

The Micro-G feels is lightweight, minimal, and feels very responsive with minimal lag time.

The full-length Micro-G cushioning feels super stiff with very little compression or bounce. Impact protection is not good at all.

The upper Mesh and neoprene upper materials are soft, thin, and conform nicely to your feet. I also like the plush tongue and comfortable ankle padding.

There was too much dead space in the forefoot and the materials are too stretchy to provide enough containment.

At first, the fit was pretty snug but the Mesh stretched out too much for my liking after playing in these shoes for a while.
