Curry 2 Retro and Flotro: They're Better Than The Original !!!

[@marcus_jb]

Seeing players I’ve grown up with release retros is so crazy. We really don’t have much time left to watch these legends compete

[@jacksonbayer]

you’re not kidding about the toe box on the retros. it’s WAY more roomy than the original

[@simonesguerra7043]

I’d agree. Same goes for the 1 retros.

[@abhiponnada]

are they really comfy cause im really thinking of buying one?

[@Binz0bang]

Super iconic game moment, glad to see UA doing some cool throwback shoes

[@shayp3kicks]

Funny story.. Actually the Curry 2 is how I found Nightwing. I loved them but used to have crazy knee pain. I literally stumbled across this "performance review" and was blown away like.. people really do this, well back then he was one of if not the only one... Wanted to do it myself ever since I saw Chris do it.. been a fan ever since. Dope as always.💪🏿.. haven't gotten these yet though. Definitely going to.

[@WearTesters]

That's awesome!

[@terrencerefendor2409]

Hi chris! I played in the original 2.5's and those were great! I recently played in the curry 4 flowtro's and all i can say with the flowtro is that they are like ceramic disc brakes while the court is clean! I was tripping my self everytime on court hahaha. I like the flowtro stuff but i think ppl are getting bored with the flow tech because i see all the other youtubers complaining that its the same damn outsole ,😂😂😂

[@WearTesters]

It’s definitely great, but agree with the design. They have to change the looks up - which they did here with the Curry 2 Flotro. Outsole is the same, but that’s performance so it doesn’t matter. The midsole design has finally changed so that’s what people want to see. More of what makes a signature shoe feel unique rather than another year with the same shoe.

[@Brandon_Chan]

i had the og curry 2 in the all stars colorway and were by far my favorite shoes ever. i sadly lost them while moving and still hope they magically appear somewhere in my house....

[@joemariedoradogellecanao3587]

Its Curry 2 Bang Bang. I bought last few days in Footlockers here in Singapore,i like the material and the color blocking and most of all its very very very lightweight and very comfortable 😊 For me this is the best colorway UA released. 😊

[@twentyay8503]

I played in the original and the retro 2’s. The original 2’s were hard as rocks, gripped every court but very firm. Retros are much more forgiving and that was apparent on the first try on. But on the retros, the speedform upper dug into the back of my ankle where the originals didn’t have that issue. Despite the heel issue I love the shoes, the traction is always money!! Gr8 review

[@WildDanHibiki]

I found that they dug into the back of my heels as well. I need to put a bandage on whenever I wear them. That's my only negative for this shoe.

[@variandavid377]

I like what they are doing with the flowtros and making slight changes to help better fit and perform with the newer tooling. Those lows look great!

[@Majestic167]

I got both, the Double Bang, and the Splash Party colorways, and love the looks, and fit. I get compliments every time I wear them. I just wear mine as a casual shoe, so I can’t comment on performance. I bought both of mine at the UA Outlet store, and paid less than what 1 pair cost at a retail store, so it’s a double win for me.

[@lemini4k]

The Curry 2.5's STILL hold up man. All three pairs I have (Taxi's, Zebra, Blue & Black) the grip, insole etc....still damn near new and man I hoop like a psychopath. They are definitely mad durable. I hate what they did here with the toe as well. That traction on the 2.5s is the same I believe and I am a scuff walker and they ain't worn down hardly. If this thread is the same, I'm a def cop em'.

[@oceancycloneblue5356]

Still got my curry 2s, the allstar and professional colorways. Great shoes.

[@DGHoops]

Awesome review, Chris!

[@WearTesters]

Thanks!

[@ericng9632]

Love love love the Curry2. Best fitting hoop shoes I played in... Keen to try these (if I can find a pair)

[@TheeMedicDozer]

So what would be a better performer in 2023, the originals or the retro of the curry 2 highs?

[@juddarcano151]

Now that you have made this video. It made me realize I still don’t have any Curry shoe in my rotation. If not for the price I will cop right away. It’s so expensive here in PH

[@dillonn3918]

Ok that intro is now my favourite retro ever 😂

[@Sputnikaz]

Did cop the Curry 4 More Magic retro, and they are fantastic

[@brianwj5]

I'm a bigger guy and love the Curry line but 1&2 OGs fit so tight in the toe for me that I'm loving these retro/flowtro fits. I get the look is different but Chris is right much more forgiving of a fit. Awesome video btw... Curry Brand is doing some cool things and it's underrated. Also, I feel like this current era of players are playing at a high level longer than signature shoe players in the past. We have lebron and KD retros but they are 15 plus years in the league. Correct me if I'm wrong but not many players have been able to have 1)10 plus signature shoes and 2) play as long as Bron, KD and Curry.

[@SupremeJ]

The splash parties are gonna drop im so hyped

[@dukestarfighter]

If they released the lows in that original red colorway and it came with flow… take my money!

[@bojanezic]

Great review! I ordered 2 flotro! That sole bro goes me on nerv. Oposite of youre and mine... Best of the best for me are SC4, I dont use laces when I play, bcs they cut me. But GOAT for me.

[@ansum189]

I love the look of these in this colourway 👍 I noticed today that these are now available in some suppliers in the UK and at about £114 which seems a great price. I'd buy these if I hadn't already just got the pink spawn 4 as they were a great price because the spawn 5 was just about to be released. The spawn 4's have excellent grip so I agree that these should have a great grip as well.

[@Drew.Whitcomb]

Love that they're doing FloTros...retros could wait

[@ange10garcia]

I immediately hit the "like" button after the intro 😁

[@Yo_Kelz]

The Curry 2 white lows are GRAILS 💎

[@chococraker]

I’ve played in all those good traction shoes you mentioned in the video (except AJ1). I had almost worn out Air Panny 5 crimson orange almost 10 years ago, but it took me longer than most of other shoes. Another great traction shoe I would put in this list is Rose 1, so reliable, both indoor or outdoor. On the other hand, I feel Kobe 9 is way to far with the traction. Especially when I just started playing in them. Beautiful shoe, just too hot. Great video

[@eiriktandberg7304]

the DRose 7 deserve to be on the best traction list too. closest thing i've ever been to being spider-man.

[@braydenolguin9311]

might be the best wear tester vid intro

[@vadoesteban]

I think it's great what they did with the lows, look amazing and implemented the flow cushion with the overall design. But man those curry 2 highs look even better. I'd like to know how the sizing of both is compared to the curry 3 which is the only curry model I own and the size is 11 US.

[@joshhutton9534]

I'm getting a pair of these. No questions asked 🔥🔥

[@x1nformal]

I wish they can bring back the OG high clutchfit drive specially the orange and neon one

[@thelegendnotmyth7071]

I feel like the kyrie 2 is def on that list of elite traction

[@RafaelBarraso]

Unpopular opinion: I like much more the old shape. Also been able to play them outside a bit is a plus for me. The flow thing gets obliterated in no time is you play on cement.

[@KH-ck4oe]

Nice, I was hoping you would review these!

[@JJcDAmAn1]

I loved the original -- still have them in the Floor General colorway

[@sneakrtweakr]

One of my all time favorite hoop shoes

[@ethanespinal4273]

Just waiting for the 2.5 retro’s, my first basketball shoes and still my favorites till this day even if they’re beat up down to the bone

[@TempuraHot7]

My favorite Curry shoe of ALL time.

[@noiisserpmii]

That intro was too funny 😂

[@FrankW1029]

I loved the original, but my blue pair pretty much only lasted 5-6 months of indoor abuse before the lateral side started splitting.

[@losangelescardinals]

I hope they Flotro the Curry 2 Taxis, those still remain as my favorite curry maybe of all time, if not top 3

[@dwharton8983]

I might be more of a curry fan than Chris I have like 21 pairs of his shoes even the budget shoes I know it sounds crazy.😅

[@phillipparedes6444]

I have around 20 pairs of his shoe also.

[@markhimself44]

Those yellow ones are b-e-a-utiful!! Reminds me of a giraffe though.

[@ADoc1980]

Dub Nation, represent!

[@soledoutreviews]

I really like the flotro but sick of the white color on bottom all the time. It’s time for some color on the flotro

[@phillipparedes6444]

I beat up my Curry 2 'iron sharpens iron' when I played in my league. I agree about the grip on court. Next i wanna try the flotro 2's on court. But if I get the giraffe pair I might just wear them casually.

[@SurvivalSpec]

UA is doing some good designs I love my Phantom 3’s

[@Jrbettis]

"Seized up." v "Fresh out da box!"

[@Yo_Kelz]

Curry 2s are the best Currys. Best casual boxing shoes!

[@slomo1203]

The flotros are beast.. I got the 4s n 1s .. def gonna get the 2s low flotro

[@marknarongvate5772]

Do you like the FloTro 1 or 2 better?

[@KNM_Gold]

How would you compare Flotro Curry 2 and Curry 10? What is the difference?

[@delprieststokes1016]

Wating on the cluch fit drivea and Brandon Jennings shoe

[@greendro6410]

These look amazing 🔥🔥🔥

[@richmondcenidoza2735]

That Curry 2 flotro looks fire. Definitely a grab.

[@greatestever7703]

Way of Wade 10 has all time traction as well

[@blvckaf8258]

retros that are only 8 years old is wild

[@teogustincic4978]

Got the retros 2. Can't wait to comment 😅

[@Jay-us8ko]

I just checked the website they're all sold out already I was looking for the high tops in size 13

[@ray2123]

I liked the Curry ones better wish they retro’ed the Candy Reigns he won the 3 point shootout in

[@troyrodgers9790]

yeah I was skipping backward up the court and shit just stuck and fell straight on my ass mid game. luckily the pass didn't come yet. it was my first time playing in them. as a quick shifty guard I love the flow on my 10s 🤣🤣🤣

[@WearTesters]

😂

[@Dub23zero]

IMO, the curry line shoes use “curry own foot shape last” with a wide toe box rather than the previous models as Curry 4 and prior.

[@WearTesters]

Curry doesn’t have a wide foot.

[@BUGGNofKIXOHOLIX413]

I was thinking 🤔 giraffe 🦒 lol thatz hilarious 😆 🤣 these r ok but ima cavz specific bron fan lol I like the older team colored underarmor jointz I got my son some blk n shiny green jointz with that jordan 10 look

[@ginpaoperalta2230]

dude, like where do you get your x-men/marvel shirts? they're fire! 🔥🔥🔥

[@marzundefeated]

The original felt like barely any cushion was used for court feel. The retro feels like a more neutral cushion but better than the original in the cushion aspect.

[@ncallmegeo]

Loved the retros

[@mikeh9949]

Curious as to why they only did the Flotro on the low model of the 2.

[@MrFrankPearson]

Gotta bring back the all white colorway that got curry clowned on for.

[@joselitomorales4845]

How about the jordan jason tatum shoes review. Thanks❤

[@Chino780]

Where did the Wolverine/ Deadpool shirt come from?

[@Eric_s2002]

My son has Curry 10's and the foam sole just doesn't hold up. It was worn and no longer gripped 2 months into his season. My advice, don't buy the flow shoes if you want something that will last.

[@arkarsoenaing8123]

Can you review UA Hover Splash 3 under SC branding?

[@ja6091]

Best curry shoe currently available is US?

[@Domgtz03]

These are a beauty

[@phillipparedes6444]

Yup. I just ordered mine

[@rjtate1038]

Hey Nightwing, since in previous performance reviews you wouldn’t play in shoes with the same tooling, IF you still did performance reviews would you not play in any Curry’s after the 8’s since the flow tooling is the same throughout all Curry’s now?

[@WearTesters]

He would test them since they're part of the signature line, but they wouldn't need as much time dedicated towards them. Take downs with derivative tooling isn't worth reviewing based on views. If we can't make the money back that we spent on the product at the very least then it isn't worth while. Barely breaking even on product expenses means Chris and Jodi don't get paid for their work at all.

[@kirillolkhovsky9160]

Are the Curry 2 Flotro suitable to wear them casually?

[@MrTeeman15]

This is my favorite shoe all time. I never liked a shoe like this one. It was just hard on the knees.

[@jvyap15]

do the flotros have a shank?

[@renzupsop]

Damn, you're acting was funny Chris haha

[@Deimos_the_Autist]

Where can I get the shirt Chris rocking

[@Sassarai916]

KINGS ALL THE WAY

[@azept-438]

Does anyone know if UA is gonna release the Curry 2 low retro?

[@afroturtle989]

Fellow OG warriors fan, they used to suck! Glad those days are over

[@flyvanguard24]

Whoaaaaa these are sick

[@towerli3787]

I swear these just came out the other year 😳😳😳

[@rafenzo03]

Intro is so cool hahaha

[@jeffjames15]

Cop curry 2 flotro or curry 11?

[@2gav6]

The retro lows actually looks better than the OGs to me

[@74205gb]

Kobe said he wanted "Protro', not 'Retro'. He said 'Protro' was a combination of Progressive and Retro giving him the ability to continue putting new technology into his old silhouettes. #MambaMentality

[@WearTesters]

“Kobe Bryant himself came up with the word “Protro”, a play on the word “Retro”. This updated version appears the same as the original, but features modified cushioning and construction (or Performance + Retro).” Via Nike Inc. press release for media such as SneakerNews.

[@BenSwoloest]

roomy toe boxes are healthier for feet in general.

[@O.O-f8r6w]

Those look 🔥🔥🔥

[@WilliamQuilesJr]

Dub Nation🔥🔥🔥

[@TMPxFranchise2112x]

The only good looking Curry shoe ever. Actually now that I think about it, this was the only good looking basketball shoe of the time period. I remember going on sneaker websites like ‘damn what happened to good design?’ (Along with the performance). But I remember seeing the “ Suit and Tie” color way in Finish Line and being like ‘holup!!!!…….Under Armour made THESE?!?!” I held them in my hand for a minute and even though I’m a Nike guy I legitimately thought about buying them. I know aesthetics are subjective but I’m unfortunately really a ‘you look good, you feel good’ type of person. These were/are sick.

[@ianf3274]

Whooooooo🎉 these are NIIIIICE

[@ramoncitopamatian9435]

🔥🔥🔥

[@Sneakerhed47]

As an okc fan, i still hate hearing/watching that soundclip in the beginning 😢

[@qingtaoshen386]

I watched the game highlights million times. Kings doing great this season!

[@joshantonio5759]

The curry two lies were perfect

[@jeysu8722]

Great intro hahahaha

[@jensenidos1776]

The acting though...😆
