Summary
A creativeNBA 2K24fan put together an impressive real-life version of the generic basketball sneakers the player character gets in the game. It’s amusing becauseNBA 2K24has far superior options when it comes to basketball shoes that one can recreate in real life, so customization jobs like these are generallyleft to other games likePokemon, which only have the occasional sneaker collaboration with brands such as Skechers and Puma.
NBA 2K24is the latest entry in 2K Sports' long-running basketball game franchise. While initially released to lukewarm reactions, steady updates have made the game much better. While there’s not much buzz nor controversy surroundingNBA 2K24, all eyes are on 2K to do something big forNBA 2K25later this year.
Redditor Flashy_Extreme8871, who is also a fashion designer, posted their amazing take on the “2K Generic” shoe over on r/NBA2k. It’s not clear if they modded an existing basketball sneaker or cobbled one together from scratch, but the result is an impressive reconstruction of the admittedly unremarkable shoe in a Jordan-esque black and red colorway. The upper is made of a black nylon mesh that has the familiar 2K logo printed on the back, accented with a buttery red ankle collar and a leather toecap. The shoe’s midsole, which looks similar to Nike’s ZoomX tech, looks chunky and well-padded, while the sole pattern looks like a typical basketball sneaker’s, all of which suggest that this may be a modified existing silhouette with superior craftsmanship.
There’s Another 2K Generic Shoe Coming Soon
Redditors in the comments made jokes about the creation while praising it at the same time. Some have referenced how players whopour their VCs into stats inNBA 2K24would still likely be rocking the 2K Generics. Some also think the real-life shoe is just as ugly as the in-game version, while most have expressed how cool it looks when done properly. Flashy_Extreme8871 mentioned that they’ll be making the gray version of the shoe next.
NBA 2K24offers a lot of customization options for players that go beyond shoes. The latestSeason 7 update forNBA 2K24which dropped last May 17 injected a lot more content into the game, satisfying those who are always looking for something new to play for. Other than stat changes and new MyTEAM cards, numerous cosmetics have been added to the MyCAREER mode.
Meanwhile, 2K Sports has the potential to makeNBA 2K25special later this year. 2024 has seen the amazing rise of award-winning college superstar Caitlin Clark, who’s swept the basketball world by storm with her heroics in this year’s NCAA women’s basketball tournament. Her growing fanbase suggests thatheavily featuring Caitlin Clark onNBA 2K25would be the best move to make to revitalize the franchise, and it’s safe to assume that the company may be keeping a close eye on her career.
