Who should buy the K-Swiss Hypercourt Express 2
This valuable tennis trainer that works on different court surfaces is an appropriate match for players from all levels, particularly those who are targeting:
- A flexible and supportive upper that encourages forceful spins, slides, and sideway cuts
- Light and quick build that can handle speedy multi-directional movements
- Midfoot section backed by a torsional control chassis
- Durable bottom with grippy tread design
Who should NOT buy it
If you are narrow-footed and prefer a kick that isn't too spacious around the toes, try the K-Swiss Hypercourt Supreme. It is reported to have a narrow fit. Or you might want to go towards a more modern-looking one like the mesh-covered Ultrashot 3.
Lightweight cushioning
It features the Surgelite midsole unit that offers impact protection. As its name implies, such a proprietary cushioning system is lightweight, encouraging you to move swiftly in multiple directions. Aside from reducing weight from the bottom section, Surgelite is shock-absorbing, too, so you're getting a lot from this cushioning unit. And because of Surgelite, the lightness of these shoes is noticeable too.
Flexible cage system
The DuraWrap Flex grips the top, which adds support. This element prevents any point in the forefoot section from bursting due to excessive toe dragging. It also serves as an added protection barrier for the feet.
Stylish package
This footgear is lighter and gives you more room to be more stylish than the original model.
Abrasion-resistant outsole
The bottom layer employs the Aosta 7.0, K-Swiss's upgraded in-house outsole technology. Such rubber that's also found in other advanced profiles like the Aero Knit is fabricated in high-density elements, which withstands the abrasiveness of the court surface.
Multi-surface ready tread
Its non-marking rubber compound is designed with a revised herringbone tread that’s advantageous on clay and hard courts.
Built with solid torsional control
This shoe relies on the 180-degree PSC (Plantar Support Chassis) found at the midfoot which bestows stability. It mainly hinders the foot from rotating inwards, so it remains flat on the ground even as you burst from one point to another.
It breathes
The Hypercourt Express 2 is fitted with a mesh underlay which provides ventilation.
Graced with stay-tied laces
This court trainer is equipped with laces that remain tied over an extended time.
Say no to sweaty feet
It features the Ortholite X40, underfoot padding that can wick moisture and deliver a higher rebound than other standard insoles.
