K-Swiss Ultrashot 2 review

Who should buy the K-Swiss Ultrashot 2

This second-generation Ultrashot is ideal for competitive players who perform hard and passionately on clay and hard courts. It is a solid option if you:

• Need a shoe that dominates the midsole to modulate repeated impact before these get absorbed by the foot.
• Need a shoe that is designed to propel the wearer to zoom and glide around the court courageously. 

Suitable for use on any court surface

Built with a high-density Aosta 7.0 rubber outsole, this shoe is equipped to resist abrasion. The molded rubber’s hard-wearing attribute makes it suitable for use on any court surface.

For added durability, the lower sections of the tip of the shoe, medial and lateral sides are wrapped with DragGuard rubber. Such proponent works as an enhanced shield that puts more life to the shoe even through repeated toe dragging and sliding. As an assurance that this shoe will last for a protracted time, it is tagged with an outsole durability guarantee. The warranty lasts for six months from the time of purchase. 

Surgelite technology

The Surgelite technology is incorporated into the EVA (ethylene vinyl acetate) midsole composition for responsiveness. Such a dynamic proponent is created to make the shoe maneuverable, light, and long-lasting. The tech is responsible for minimizing shock during landings, offering comfort to the user.

Aesthetic clean-looking and straight-forward

The DuraWrap X, a polyurethane material, is the crowning spec that’s integrated into the mesh upper. The combination of synthetic and mesh is meant to deliver lateral support and ventilation. Ultrashot 2’s seam-free construction makes its aesthetic clean-looking and straightforward. 

It maintains the same kind of in-shoe feel and fit as the previous model. Although it’s made with a shorter tongue than the first Ultrashot, this second version grants comfort still. Like most K-Swiss shoes, this one is also assembled with a roomy toe box, which makes the forefoot feel partly wide especially for narrow-footed wearers. 

Ortholite X-40 inner sole

K-Swiss added the Ortholite X-40 inner sole, which is intended to draw off moisture and keep the underfoot ventilated.
