Questions answered
FAQ
Is the Tatum 2 still worth buying?
If you can find it discounted, it's excellent value. The performance was well-regarded and the only reason to choose the Tatum 3 instead is the improved cushioning. For budget-conscious players, a discounted Tatum 2 is a smart buy.
How does the Tatum 2 compare to the Tatum 1?
Significant improvement across the board. The Tatum 1 received mixed reviews for cushioning and materials. The Tatum 2 addressed both with a better foam setup and more refined upper. Most reviewers called it the version that made the line credible.
Can you play outdoor basketball in the Tatum 2?
The rubber outsole handles outdoor courts adequately, though the thinner areas of the traction pattern will wear down faster on rough surfaces. It's acceptable for mixed indoor/outdoor use.
How does the Tatum 2 fit?
True to size for most players. The heel cup is snug and locks the foot in place well, which is a positive for lateral movement. The forefoot has moderate room without being loose.
