My only problem with these shoes is that there isn't the 6 month warranty

The tongue is different and more comfy in my opinion on the 2k12. Not really like the v9, pretty unique for Nike. These will be my go-to Nike. Nice wider fit and a better deal than v9.

Do the loops that the laces goes through extend down the inside of the shoe like the Vapors and the CBs? That's what it looks like from pictures on TW.

Yes but only on the inside lace of each shoe. The outer side has a regular lacing system.

These shoes are incredible.

If you like the V8 or CB 2.3, these fit very similar. Feels like a combination of both shoes.

I got mine for only $94. GOAT worthy shoe for me since my feet are very finicky.

What's the tongue like in these? Thick or thin?

Hey buddy, they're way too short and are off center, they are very strange, the only slight fail for these shoes. If they had the 2.3 tongue they would be 100% GSOAT for me. But, that said, I think the tongue is OK so far but I just like the attached longer tongues versus these smaller ones that don't stay centered and can tend to slide to the sides. I just love the cushioning of these when I walk, just like CB 2.3.

What you meant with that mate

@jd: do you feel any difference compare to the 2k11? I like the V8 and even like the V9 more (they fit me better, I was between sizes for V

, would I get on with them you think?

iPhone keyboard sucks haha.

Has anybody worn both the Propulse 3 and the Zoom 2K12? Any thoughts on how they compare? I really like the fit and softness of the toe box of the Propulse but I could use a little bit more cushioning.

you've just convinced me to stock up on these. Absolute beauties. its been a while since I tried the 2k11 or 2k12 (they're pretty similar?)... hopefully not too different from cb 4.3 and barricade7's!

raphMODE · 07-28-2012, 05:23 PM

Ok then !
Now the 2k12 are available, WHEN will they replace the 2k11 at NIKEiD ????
I need this new model, with new colors/options !

These are the most comfortable and best fitting tennis shoe I've ever worn hands down. I like them so much I don't want to dirty them up so I play in my old V8 and wear these casually. I played one league match on HC in them and they GOATed my brains out.

I have wierd feet so these are dreamy for me.

I take back what I said about the tongue. It's fine. Short yeah but it's fine.

B2K12: GSOAT for me personally.

I love the V8 because they fit great but comfort level doesn't match these. These fit great like the V8 but the cushioning and comfort level blow the 8s away.

The V9 arches are just way too low for me.

Also, about the polo, I guess it's not a fake "swiss DC polo" but the "RF Olympics zip polo".

I never tried the 11. I really wonder how different they are. I think I read they are very similar. I had the McEnroe breathes and these blow them away.

Thanks for the Wimby wristbands man. You rule! So bromantic! I love them.

ice04 · 07-29-2012, 05:03 PM

How's the durability of the 2k12?

fundrazer · 07-29-2012, 05:14 PM

How do these compare to the 2k10's in terms of the toebox? The extra width that the 2k10's had up there is one of the main reasons why I wore them. That shoe fit my foot better than most other shoes I've tried, but the outsole is slowly disintegrating.

I don't play as much as I used to, and I've certainly never gone through shoes like some other posters here. So the durability was never an issue, but when my 2k10's are gone I'll probably look at the 2k12's or Yonex 308's first.

arche3 · 08-04-2012, 08:31 AM

The 2011 and 2012 have a wider toebox like the 2010 breath. My son wears them. He can't fit the stiff and cramped cb 4,s. But from 2k10 to now 2k12 they all have fit great.
