Nike Giannis Immortality 2 Review
Pros:
Traction performs well on clean courts
Cushion is responsive
Cons:
Dust can cause slight sliding
Not much impact protection
Performance of the Nike Giannis Immortality 2:
Giannis's latest budget shoe, the Nike Giannis Immortality 2, has similar traction to its predecessor. The performance is on par as well.
The cushioning can be divisive, depending on your preferences. There is no impact protection, but it offers plenty of responsiveness and court feel.
Reviewers had split opinions on the materials. Some called them cheap, and others said they were an upgrade from last year. All agreed the materials don't affect the performance, though.
The support and lockdown features are basic but get the job done.
The Nike Giannis Immortality 2 is a slightly above-average performance shoe but excels in the budget category.

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

Traction solid on clean courts but struggled on dust. Cushion is near nonexistent and provides little impact protection. Materials are comfortable but the mesh in the toe box stretches a lot and is prone to ripping. The shoe is responsive and gives spring into every step.

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.

I had zero issues with the traction on clean courts, but it does need wiping in dusty conditions.

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.
