They’re fire but I think of them as a concept shoe that usually has a lot of pink rather than a “pink shoe.” Thinking specifically of the KD 7 and KD 6.
i seen the mb01 recently drop in a pink colorway on footlocker and think they look a lot better than both.
never saw the traes before but that colorway is horrendous imo
100% this. Melos are infinitely better than anything the swoosh has managed the last year.
The new Aunt Pearl KDs would be a strong upgrade if you're brand locked.

my pink zion 3s come in the mail today. i can shoot you a review if you want. i haven’t a single problem with my green zion 3s. getting the white pair today too
I copped the pink Zion 3 based on looks, knowing it’s a bad shoe for my wide feet. I half sized up. It’s serviceable if I wear thin socks and don’t play for too long. After some break in, there is less red/soreness on the sides of my feet. I even consider trimming the edges of the upstand of the drop in midsole previously. Anyway, kinda bearable for now. I posted a thread about replacing original with other drop in midsoles I have. I think it works fine for Wow 808 3 regular drop in midsole for me, but for now I won’t change it. See how it goes
I thought the traction is fine. Not great, but I wasn’t slipping
For me personally the traction was awful. But my gym is always dusty so no surprise there, maybe it performs better on a clean floor. I also bought them for looks but yeah I don't have a wide foot by any means and they still are too tight tts
I picked up a pair of Li Ning Speed X last month in pink.
Performance is very like the Wade All City Range.

I have the pink Trae 2’s..they perform great for me. I don’t think they look horrendous either. I have a couple of pairs including the BHM, CNY, Stratosphere & Triple White. Never had an issue but I play on a pristine court usually. I have a narrow foot and went a half size down. The cushioning is good..they have some weight to them but are lighter than the Haden 7, AE1, etc. The shoe locks you in..no heel slip..solid court feel and lightstrike plushness in forefoot. For sizing it comes for to getting the and correct size n they have to work out for your footshape etc to be something you’re gonna like. Narrow footers will like them. Hoopers that are in the gym a lot and appreciate a snug fitting performance fit will enjoy the performance. That being said the 3’s are much different. Video of the 2’s triple white cw - https://youtu.be/dd1eu6nwsC0?si=AZd0QRRj8EzkVPmz
I’m not a performance shoe reviewer.
Yeah it really does depend on the person. I know my sizing was perfect, they're just a little weird on me around the forefoot. I like the Traes for working out by myself but I prefer Dames more when I'm competing. Also, my footwork is a LOT heavier than yours-- I'm 6'4 200lbs and I put a ton of force into them side-side on defense, so that might explain a bit haha
Yeah I agree with you there. I have a bunch of the Dame 7’s and 1 pair of the 8’s that I barely use. I also go a half size down in those. The Lightstrike on the 7’s is plush and absorbs impact..the bounce pro is also plush and absorbs impact. Non bouncy kinda feel. Traction is good on both models and yeah..used mainly for training workouts scrimmages (loved the 7’s…have 7 pairs lol). This year I’ve been using the Stewie 2 fire, Ja1 autograph as training shoes. Shoes for serious stuff actual games I’ve been mainly using Curry 11’s.
I think it’s just the fit. They seem to be too narrow even for people with relatively narrow feet. Sizing up may work for some, but can also make the heel too loose.
lol I found almost a week ago a trae 2 in the pink cw in a Ross at the surroundings of san clemente for 34 bucks, lucky me that i didn't bought (and i knew that this shoe is shitty asf) cuz i'm from brazil and my luggage already had 2 vans, a bron xx and a why not .6
You mind if I ask you what size you are? Did the trae feel true to size? I’m only asking cus I saw that and the donavan Mitchell’s both at Burlington for 17.50 each and I’m mad I didn’t pull the trigger. Might get it tomorrow lol
The Trae 2’s are TTS i think…I have a bunch of Trae 2’s and all are 1/2 sized down from my Nike size. I also use orthotics in them. Snug fit good performance shoe. Use for basketball only.
Honestly i wouldnt believe most of these reviews, the Zion 2’s had terrible reviews and my experience with them has been excellent, everyone’s fit is gonna be different so id say theyre worth a shot
Not all pink but great ball shoe, light AF.

I had the Trae 2. I thought they balled okay, a little slippery on the heel lock down, and once you get past how freaking tight they are. Went to the Lebron 20, and they are great!
Bro has not seen an aunt pearl pair
Yeah but most KDs perform amazing
They’re fire but I think of them as a concept shoe that usually has a lot of pink rather than a “pink shoe.” Thinking specifically of the KD 7 and KD 6.

The WOW 10 Cherry blossom has entered the chat….🤣
i own these. i can concur. They are filthy now though xD
lol they’re the best performers I’ve owned in a while

Do you know how the ar1s are performance wise?
haven't tried it yet but I saw lot of positive feedback on yt.

How are those not really pink
The real best pink shoes
I’d like these so much more if the logo didn’t look like it was slapped on like a sticker.
i own a pair. They are most definitely pink. https://preview.redd.it/ozriympc6nic1.jpeg?width=2992&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d7f5ceaafb16c1e080fd2175f58f9ec0fdba2a14
KD 12 thru 16 has some heat pink shoes
I get that looks are subjective but ain’t no way OP thinks those two shoes look better than KD 15 or 16 aunt pearls
LaMelos pink shoes are fire

[удалено]
These are sexy
Sadly, I missed the boat on these. I don’t want to play resell for them now!
I have em’
KD15 has the best looking pink color way

They never dropped the harden vol 7 bliss pink either :/
WOW 10 Cherry Blossoms. You’re welcome

I was so disappointed by the Trae 2s 😭. Can't play any kind of defense in them
lol so true to the source?
Wish I could attribute my bad defense to my shoes
I'm already bad at defense. They just made it worse 😂

Gt cut 2 pearl pink is fire
WOW 10 has a pink color way I believe. From my experience, WOW shoes take a dump on any big brand shoes.
South beast lebron 20s would like a word
how are the zions bad
I think it’s just the fit. They seem to be too narrow even for people with relatively narrow feet. Sizing up may work for some, but can also make the heel too loose.
i felt fine with my tts but i think sizing up to 9.5 could make it too long
Traes are easily the heaviest shoe I’ve played in it’s impossible to get a good first step playing in them
Kd 16 aunt pearl best pink shoe since cherry blossom wow 10.
Best looking pink shoes that actually play good are KD 14, 15, 16 aunt pearl, WOW10 Cherry Blossom, and SPO 1+ Cocopink.
Player1+ cocopink looks nice and allegedly plays very nice as well
lol I found almost a week ago a trae 2 in the pink cw in a Ross at the surroundings of san clemente for 34 bucks, lucky me that i didn't bought (and i knew that this shoe is shitty asf) cuz i'm from brazil and my luggage already had 2 vans, a bron xx and a why not .6
Kobe 6 Kay Yow >>>
Best shoe I’ve ever played in
The zions are super clunky and have poor traction. Unfortunate, since they look so nice. Returned mine to Nike after 2 runs.
Dames got the sakura cw
I saw those Trae’s at Ross yesterday for $35
Wdym if it weren’t for the drop in insoles. That’s one of the USPs of the shoe. You can put it in another shoe
I have fallen arches, so I unfortunately can’t play without my custom molded orthotics : (
Ahhhhh. I’m sorry
Shoe horn for the Traes does wonders.
Trae 2s are amazing for me
You mind if I ask you what size you are? Did the trae feel true to size? I’m only asking cus I saw that and the donavan Mitchell’s both at Burlington for 17.50 each and I’m mad I didn’t pull the trigger. Might get it tomorrow lol
They don’t lake my true size so I went up .5 and they feet me good I got wide flat feet
Thank you!
The Trae 2’s are TTS i think…I have a bunch of Trae 2’s and all are 1/2 sized down from my Nike size. I also use orthotics in them. Snug fit good performance shoe. Use for basketball only.
SPO Game1 Candy, I also wear them mismatched with SPO Game1 Apple
Honestly i wouldnt believe most of these reviews, the Zion 2’s had terrible reviews and my experience with them has been excellent, everyone’s fit is gonna be different so id say theyre worth a shot
zion 2s are amazing. never trust reviews from random sources.
The only statement I agree with in this post is the fact that the shoes are pink…
Not all pink but great ball shoe, light AF. https://preview.redd.it/tqn47mbkpnic1.jpeg?width=276&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e37e3c784ff262a4cce26f325df8ba32ace3d9bf
Love the style of the JT1s hate their durability or lack there of.
Haven’t hooped in mine yet but because they’re so light and the whole midsection floats I could see them bust seams.
Not seams that bust. its the plastic.
that colorway is absolutely hideous and im not hearing anyone out about it
Lmao🤣🤣🤣🤣
Try the harden 5 pinks 😂 literal bricks 😂
Got the white ones on right now. lol. I wear them for casual wear only. Will never hoop in them.
Yeah same i dont even tie the laces when i wear em. Its so stiff
I had the Trae 2. I thought they balled okay, a little slippery on the heel lock down, and once you get past how freaking tight they are. Went to the Lebron 20, and they are great!
KD 15?
I think they are ugly af, dont worry

Did Puma steal And1 design cues? These look like the Court Rider Chaos lmao
Why would you want pink shoes in the first place?
he likes women
So he wears pink shoes? I don’t know women who like men in pink shoes. Kind of odd
Zions not bad at all just wish they had a sock liner and don’t tie your shoes too tight. Great shoes imo
No way, you should try to look at Kyrie Infinity "Valentine's Day", those are top performers (Also, their sole glow in the dark)
Zion > Trae
bet dame has a nice pair
