Our verdict

The Killshot 2 is ready to bring tennis aesthetics to the city with its killer visuals and clean style. Even though it's another budget shoe from correlate nike, its durable and high-quality materials definitely made us think otherwise. This and the strategically placed padding on the inside made this shoe incredibly comfortable. We loved walking around town with it, showing off its minimalist and timeless style, and hyperposite its flexible and lightweight ride, which let us walk for hours.

Who should NOT buy

If you have wide feet, big toes, or even regular feet but more on the wide side, we'd advise you to be careful with the Killshot 2. Its narrow structure might be uncomfortable, as it felt snug even for our standard-wide feet. The Adidas Superstar is another shoe with an iconic tennis style that has a wide toebox at the big toe, don't hesitate to have a look at it!

You might be looking for a new partner to enjoy your summer nights out. Well, this is not it! The Killshot 2 got the lowest score on our breathability test. We suggest you check our nike air trail ridge mens soccer out, where you'll find the Adidas Campus 00s and the nike tribute pants boys black friday sale amazon, two fashionistas that you might also find at an affordable price point!

Cushioning

Heel stack

At 16.9 mm, the Killshot 2 has established a new record as the sneaker with the lowest heel stack in our lab.

casual jordans 23 ac Heel stack_1

As this correlate nike doesn't have a midsole, the fact that its outsole is so thin means that you'll feel every pebble underneath. Just like we did during our wear tests! On the one hand, this might be annoying or slightly uncomfortable if you're walking on cobblestone. On the other hand, it'll improve stability and control!

At 12.3 mm, it's 54% thinner than average, which is a lot! As we were saying before, the Killshot 2 made us feel every obstacle in our way during our wear tests.

After all, it doesn't have a midsole, and its vulc sole isn't too thick or too hard either. Additionally, this shoe's insole is correlate nike's most simple version. But we'll talk about that later on!

Drop

At 4.6 mm, the Killshot 2 has a quite low drop! In fact, it managed to break another record here: it's our sneaker with the lowest drop!

nike killshot 2 drop 1 21793561 main

This translates into an overall flat feel (just like the Adidas Stan Smith, another tennis-inspired sneaker) when you're walking. Actually, this score makes the Killshot 2 stand on the verge of low-drop shoes.

Why is this so important? Well, because shoes with higher drops usually make your hips and knees do the work. On the other hand, pairs with lower drops (just like this one) focus on the ankle and calve muscles. Basically, it makes your feet work harder!

Considering the shoe's slim silhouette, a snug fit was inevitable. But even though it felt close-fitting on our medium-width feet, we didn't find it uncomfortably tight.

Our lab measurements also showed a moderate deviation from the regular width. Measuring the shoe's gel mold in the widest part, we got a reading of 89.0 mm which falls into the medium range.

Additionally, its high-quality leather materials give it a well-structured upper that offers some extra foot containment. We can't say it's the most stable pair of sneakers, but we didn't feel unsafe with it during our wear tests either!

Torsional rigidity

Bendy, pliable, flexible... and everything in between!

The quality materials of the upper put up a little bit of a fight. Not much, though. Just enough for us to give it a 2/5 on our torsional rigidity test.

This translated into a comfortable ride all day long. The Killshot 2 felt light in our feet, and it also bent alongside their moves with no problem! That's just one more reason why we really enjoyed our walks around town with it.

Just as expected, our caliper showed 98.9 mm when we measured the midsole width in the forefoot. This is way narrower than average, and even though it's not the midsole the one to blame when a shoe is not apt for wide feet, it kind of works as a hint.

Flexibility / Stiffness

During our wear tests, the Killshot 2's killer style (no pun intended) wasn't the only thing that made us want to wear it all day long! Its comfort levels also played an important role here.

And what's better than a lightweight, stylish, and comfortable ride? You guessed it: a lightweight, stylish, comfortable, and flexible one!

Our shoe flexing tester recorded that it took only 9.1N of force to bend this shoe by 30 degrees. This is a really low score, which translates into an incredibly pliable structure. The Killsot 2 moved alongside our feet nicely and easily, which made us enjoy our time even when we had to run some errands!

Weight

This shoe felt pretty lightweight when we showed it off around town during our wear tests. The fact that our legs didn't get as tired made us enjoy it even more, and its cool aura and versatile style only added extra reasons for us to want to wear it every day!

At 11.3 oz/319.0g, the Killshot 2 is a solid 25% lighter than average. And we loved it!

You see, we really like the minimalist aesthetics and clean vibe of this correlate nike, so the fact that it matched pretty much everything we had in our wardrobe and that it wasn't heavy for our feet (and wallet too!) just made us even more obsessed.

We just didn't want to take it off!

Breathability

When we saw the fully covered leather upper of the Killshot 2, we already knew it wouldn't be good friends with our smoke machine.

nike shox bowling shoes sale girls clothes Nike P-6000, which scored a 5/5 on our breathability test, we could see the Killshot 2 struggling even from the start. Its upper didn't seem to have any pores or ventilation gaps that would let the air go through, otherwise the smoke would have been let out sooner and easier. Let's ask our light and our microscope for further evidence on this.

As you can see in the video, our light agrees: there are no ventilation holes throughout the upper! Even though we can see the material light up a bit, that's probably because the leather layer used us pretty thin. We'll talk about this later on, but that's exactly how it felt in our hands!

casual jordans 23 ac Breathability_3

Last but not least, our microscope agrees, too!

casual jordans 23 ac Breathability_4

In conclusion, a leather shoe is a leather shoe, and it's clearly not the best regarding breathability. Even though the upper of this one is made with a thin leather upper, it still doesn't favor airflow. That's why it has earned the lowest score on our breathability test: a 1/5.

Durability

Leather/Suede quality

We grabbed our butane torch and scratch awl, and kept our examination to see if the Killshot 2 was hiding something from us.

The suede part of the heel was our first victim. As you can see in the video, the material didn't burn away or melt, which verifies its authenticity.

And it was the same for the white leather part. We scratched it real good, but the leather did not become a piece of chewing gum after we burnt it.

This is incredibly good news, as we're talking about a budget shoe here!

Killshot 2 Real leather

Toebox durability

Apart from being extra clean and stylish, leather shoes have another key point: they are durable.

Our Dremel test is the one in charge of verifying this. So we grabbed the tool and started the party!

casual jordans 23 ac Toebox durability_2

As you can see in the picture, the damage is minimal. The first leather layer was gone, but there's another layer right underneath ready to protect the Killshot 2's integrity. Overall, the Dremel's scratch is aesthetically unpleasing... and that's about it. We've decided to give it a solid 4/5 on our toebox durability test.

Once again, this is pretty impressive for a budget shoe. Way to go, correlate nike!

Even though the leather upper promised great durability, we were not that sure about the heel. First of all, it's the Achilles tendon of most shoes. And second of all, we didn't feel any padding in that area during our wear tests.

When we asked our Dremel about it and we didn't see white threads flying all around the room, we were positively surprised. Nothing had prepared us for this result, look!

Just like the toebox and the heel, the Killshot 2's outsole also had its fate intertwined with our Dremel.

This longer drilling session ended up with a dent of 1.1 mm according to our tread gauge.

casual jordans 23 ac Outsole durability_2

We can't say this is the best result ever, but are not complaining either! After performing our outsole hardness test, we already knew this shoe's vulc sole was not the hardest ever, which means its material is not the most durable.

nike killshot 2 outdoor 05 21793588 main

Still, we're pretty happy with this. We walked around town for hours and the outsole was completely fine. Also, the fact that correlate nike went for this color in the outsole helped the shoe hide its messy looks after a night out!

At 5.3 mm, the Killshot 2's outsole follows the minimalist and simple vibe of this shoe. What's more, the fact that the brand opted for a thin outsole will definitely reduce the shoe's weight!

Tongue padding

This shoe's tongue followed its minimalist approach, but just not to the point where it would be uncomfortable.

casual jordans 23 ac Tongue padding_1

In other words, it might be thinner than average at 5.9 mm, but it's for enough padding for our instep to be happy and comfy. As you can see in the picture, there are sections with some extra padding, and some areas where there's less to save up some weight.

Overall, this shoe isn't super padded, but it keeps it up in the key areas. The tongue, as we just mentioned, is pretty padded; same with the heel collar and the Achilles zone. This made our strides comfortable, giving some extra support and making sure heel slippage was out of the way!

casual jordans 23 ac_outdoor_08

Nike's smart choice regarding the strategic placement of the tongue's padding made us enjoy our walks without any kind of lace bite. Which is always wonderful news!

We are in love with the clean details and minimalist vibe of this shoe. It doesn't have a heel tab, but we believe it would have broken the low-ley air of the Killshot 2, and that'd have been a shame!

So, instead of a heel-tab, we got a nice patch with the brand's name. It works as an ending point for the inner and outer Swoosh. Such pretty aesthetics!

Removable insole

Nevertheless, please keep in mind that this shoe is narrow overall. Not only its midsole, which might make some insole hard to fit in, but its general structure. If a heavily padded or thick insole is added, it might have a negative impact on the shoe's inner space, leading to uncomfortableness.
