Andrew Rizzo All signs point to the New Balance Hesi Low v2 being Cooper Flagg’s sneaker of choice, meaning fans in Dallas and beyond will soon be “put on” to one of the best budget basketball shoes on the market. It also means we’re bound to get a PE release eventually… but that’s a conversation for a later day. For now, we’re continuing to get fresh looks at GRs the #1 pick might lace up to start his rookie year.
The Hesi Low v2 here sports a low-key “Black/Maroon” colorway; an equally unimposing counterbalance to a recently-previewed “White/Grey” option. The tongue, New Balance logo, and midsole host the “Maroon” color, while the heel clip and upper eyestay adds some energy in silver. A black and grey apex consisting of mesh, suede, and synthetic protective areas sums up the rest of the design.
Pound for pound, the Hesi Low v2 is one of the most value-packed hoops shoes on the market at just $110. A full-length FuelCell midsole provides cushioning without adding much weight, complemented by updated traction consisting of lines radiating out from the forefoot. With that being said, prospective buyers should note that it’s far better suited for shifty CW997HOA than heavy centers.
The New Balance Hesi Low v2 “Black/Maroon” releases September 1st via newbalance.com and New Balance Basketball retailers, carrying the usual $110 box price. See official images below if you’re considering copping.
