These shoes were much better than expected. Very comfortable and lightweight. The translucent bottoms dont have the best traction if floors get wet or dusty but overall great shoe. Also, im a forward and this shoe has great support for cutting and jumping.

I bought these shoes 3 weeks ago, I have used them both to play indoors basketball and to take bootcamp classes also indoors. Shoes feel comfortable after a few times wearing them. The ankle support is less than with high tops (obviously), I usually play on AJ's XXXI and wear ankle braces so I would recommend if you do too, you make sure your feet fit in comfortably and you feel the shoes tight around your feet.

Considering the hefty price of most basketball shoes nowadays, for $110 this is an absolute steal. It performs well and it looks pretty good too. You can't go wrong with this unless you're the type of player who enjoys a lot of cushioning. These provide ample responsive cushioning, and very comfortable.

Just a quick note: Though this is an improvement over the PG1, especially for wide footed folks, it's still narrow, and even more importantly, runs a bit small. No room in the toe box.That said, it's easy to see why this shoe is getting awesome reviews. Comrfortable, pretty supportive, nice looks. If it works for you, cheers.
Thank god NIKE has the 30 day policy because over and over I'm ordering 1/2 size up - PG2 is wider than PG1 but still narrow - I went up 1/2 and they are good. Overall, its a great shoe for the money. Cushion feels great on-court. No complaints besides the fit and I don't have wide feet - can't imagine anyone with a wide foot can buy a KD or PG, even a Kyrie.
Why Nike doesn't offer these in a wider width I have no idea. The sole is insanely comfortable, and the upper is great too, they are just WAY too narrow. Of course I wore them for a couple of days hoping they'd loosen up and break-in, which they didn't, so now I'm stuck with them. If you have even a remotely wide foot, I'd order up a half size at least.
So disappointed with these shoes. The look and traction is great, but due to to terrible size, construction and placement of the top islet, the shoes are painful to play in. The large metal eyelet sits right on top of my ankle bone, rubbing the skin away during most lateral movements. Even with a sock covering the ankle, the shoes are still painful. Wearing a low cut no show sock is not an option for me wearing these shoes. I wouldn't purchase these again.
Don't know about the other reviewers but these shoes fit properly to there size in my case. I wear an 11 and purchased an 11. They are neither narrow nor wide but certainly not narrow in comparison to most nike's that are a similar type. Comfort is good for everday. For basketball, they're decent.
I purchased the PG 2 Pure Platinum a few days ago, was really pumped and excited to play with these shoes for Basketball. They are pretty lightweight and have good traction. Only con is that it is pretty narrow but not too narrow to make a big difference, but it did fit me well so it's a true to fit shoe for me. Can't wait to play club ball with these babies!!
these look great. only problem is that they are very narrow. bought for son. he complained they were tight so i tried them on. even for a woman they were very narrow. i can't see how a guy with proper socks would feel this is that comfy. it's the top part across the foot rise that seems most problematic because of how it's stitched. we have shoe stretchers and they saved these shoes from going back because wearing them to break them in was not cutting it. i didn't think going up a size would solve the problem either.
