These look great, but I’ll wait for a better colorway before I get them. I loved the Rad One style, but they were too narrow and a tad short. As I have the GoRuck Ballistic, Haze Trainer, and the new Reebok X5’s on their way… no rush

RAD most definitely took a side step with this one. RAD one V1 was unique because of how light weight and reactive the shoe was. While still being extremely stable with a minimal/slim look and feel. More inclined shoe for speed but still stable. Now The RAD One V2 is heavy, bulky, wide and fortified. More inclined for lifting. Kinda goes against RADs idea of comfort without compromise. You can only wear the RAD one v2 for crossfit workouts in a gym. I would play basketball in the RAD ones v1 all the time. You cannot with the RAD ones v2 Their is little to no difference to the Nike metcon and the RAD one V2. But the nike metcon are much less expensive and easier to get. Not to sound so critical. But RAD is going in the same direction as it's competition. I do not find the RAD one v2 unique at all.

I ordered the same color. Looks really good in the vid. The style change and peoples reaction is crazy. I get it though it is a more unique style than the one which had a more versatile style being more minimal. This looks more like a dedicated training shoe or basketball shoe which I think makes it harder to style outside the gym if that is what people were looking for. Outside of all that everything else about the shoe sounds good and I can't wait for mine to come in.
