Very good review and spot on that these shoes are the most versatile and wearable in the market. The midsole foam of these two shoes are different, the Hypercourt Supreme uses Surge 7.0 which will provide more energy return and to me feel more cushioned. The Hypercourt Express 2 uses Surgelite which is also very good, but not as plush as the Supreme. The outsole patterns are identical, but the durability in the Hypercourt Supreme will be better as K-Swiss uses a more durable compound in the rubber. Hypercourt Express 2 is available in a 2E for men and wide for women, Hypercourt Supreme is not. Both will fit players best with a medium or slightly wider foot in my opinion.

I am happy that you got a sponsor. You earned it. I am also glad that you explained at the beginning that your sponsor does not have influence on your opinion. Because I think you are the best sportshoes reviewer on KZread. Honest reviews are the best.

Thanks!

The Hypercourt Express are the best tennis shoes I ever owned. The perfect blend of lightness, cushioning, roominess, breathability and durability.

Loyal Asics Gel Resolution player for years. I tried a pair of these, and was surprised how well rounded this shoe is. I play a serve and volley style. Just bought my second pair of these. Well done K-Swiss!!!

Thank you for doing this review. Love my K-Swiss Hypercourt Supreme & Express 2 shoes. Fun to see the cross-cut of this shoe, that I wear everyday. Have been wearing the Express 2 for years. Switched to the Supremes when they came out and love how they keep my heel in the shoe.

I play two to three times a week. These shoes lasted for almost two years. Best tennis shoe I’ve ever owned. Very light for the support you get. Durability is off the charts for casual play. Very comfortable.

I’m on my second pair of the Hypercourt Express 2. First one I bought a half size bigger than my regular size and felt too big. Had to really tie it down, but worked ok. The all-court soles lasted a good 10 months on mostly clay. Didn’t have extreme traction on clay and allowed me to slide intentionally and unintentionally. Side to side transition was slower than a dedicated clay outsoles. The second pair I bought is in my regular size with clay outsoles. Huge difference on clay. Much more nimble with quick side to side transition. Not much of a slider so this works perfectly on me. With my regular size, my feet feel more locked down and secured. Both are very light and comfortable in our hot climate.

I live and Bermuda and we are very limited in tennis shoes right now and I bought the express 2. I found it to be light and grip the court hard from the go so it was a little difficult at first because I’m a slider. However after a few plays I am able to get that sliding so maybe a little break in was needed. Also I think good footwork for this is definitely needed that flange almost made me roll my ankle. Would love to try the supreme though as it seems to have better ankle support that is also something I have worried about playing in these. But great review as always Zach. 👍🏾👍🏾

Nice videos, still waiting for the volleyball shoes review and comaprison and so on :D best channel to see, how the shoes are really made from inside :)

Your game, and your reviews keep improving. I’ve thought I would be a good match on the court, yet sometimes I see some ridiculously good shots. I’m sure you spend hours picking your best shots 🤣. I got your shoe guide. There are so many shoes now, and they are so different, it really helps for wading through.

Thank you- my two hander is actually really suffering lately - no idea why- you definitely pay attention and concentrate more when you know a few thousand people are going to be watching you haha

I purchased the Hypercourt Supremes in late summer and played primarily pickleball through the fall. The bootie liner construction gives a great heel lockdown, something I've struggled with from most other shoes. The toebox is also fairly roomy, an increasing necessity as I have aged. The Durawrap and flanges provide all the stability I need. They've been very durable, looking almost brand new after 4 months of play (10-12 hours/week). I did have a break in period with the left shoe as my long toes push the ball of my foot back into the arch rise. The footbed mostly molded to my foot over the course of about two weeks. I plan on trying an OTC orthotic to see if that helps even more.

I have played lots of pickleball with the Express 2. The reason its such a popular shoe is its wider in the forefoot which tends to be an issue with some other shoe companies. Its a very solid shoe. Eventually i added a PowerStep orthotic to them as the foam is lite and started to break down a bit. As a larger player i eventually switched to the Ultrashot’s, but if you are a speed player the Express 2’s are terrific, comfy and durable.

Great review as always, my dad has a pair of these (the express 2s) and he bought me a pair. These shoes are really one of the best all round shoes and it’s also easy to find good deals, the prices are one of the best you can find.

Thanks for keeping up with the tennis shoe reviews while adding in basketball shoes! Can you review the NOBULL Court Trainers some day? They advertise it as suitable for both tennis and basketball.

love watching ur videos i hope u upload more can u do a performance review on the adidas dame 7 and the jordan one take 3? and the adidas rose son of chi thanks

Hey Zach, cheers for the in-depth shoe review as always. As a severely flat footed individual, i’ve always looked for wide 2E (even 4E) shoes. I have a custom made sport orthotic that adds alot of heel height, so my heel ends up slipping out of the majority of shoes I try on. So far, the new balance 696 in 4E was able to accomodate my sport orthotic without any heel slippage. I think the large flange on the side helped with my wide forefoot. I then moved to the hypercourt express 2 just to differentiate. The original model (not 2E version) was able to surprisingly fit my orthotic without slippage. I now plan to move to the ON Roger Pro so that I can try something a little lighter. I genuinely enjoy ON shoes for their comfortablility. Do you think it would be a good move? Heel is 2.5 cm and it has a wide forefoot flange like the New Balance - but I wanted to grab your opinion first.

I love my Hypercourt Supreme. Great overall shoe, gives a really nice cushioned feel & good support & stability while being very lightweight.

Hey Doc! I have been dealing a with some plant fasciitis issues for a bit now. I switched from the Vapor pro to the Kswiss Hypercourt Supreme and I like them a lot. They’re very comfortable and I think they have good arch and heel support. I’ve seen your videos recommending the adidas solecourt boost for heel problems. Do you think switching to them would make a big difference? Or the Hypercourte supreme do a good job? Thanks!

Thanks for the great video. I see both of these on pickleball courts in Arizona every day. Please consider reviewing the new Sketchers Viper Court shoe which is endorsed by Tyson McGuffin. Curious about whether it is a serious performance shoe . Thanks!

I have been wearing the Adidas Sould Court Boost due to your suggestion for plantar Fasheitus but of course it seems they are no longer available. So I will be trying the K-swiss again. I used to wear K-swiss until their tobox got so narrow so I will now try them in the 2E. Thanks for what you do.

Yes! I've been waiting for this review! I work in a pro shop in NE Florida and let me tell you, I can't keep these on my shelves! My customers have the exact same thoughts, it's a comfortable and supportive shoe that is relatively lightweight (comparatively speaking of course). My customer demographic does tend to be 40+ tennis and pickleball players who don't really feel the need to have a "clunky" and supportive shoe such as an Ultrashot 3 or a Eclipsion 3. It's a cushioned and wider profile shoe with a relatively lower arch and it just works for so many folks. In my experience, it is a little too wide for my feet (currently wearing court ff novaks with the laces fairly tight lol) but nothing but positive things to say about this shoe.

I'm wearing Hypercourt Supreme and found that they actually feel more "Barricade" than the current Adidas Barricade (Ver.12) does and at a fraction of price. I'm an all-time Adidas fan but sorry for Adidas this time I have to leave Barricade and change to something I feel more "Barricade" (e.g. Asics Court FF 2, K-Swiss Hypercourt Supreme)

Hey Doctor, I bought the KD 14’s in a size 11.5(replacing my LeBron 16 lows which were also 11.5 and they fit amazing) and today was my first day wearing them indoors and I noticed that my feet, especially my forefoot was hurting really really badly and I have no idea if it’s because my foot is too wide or if it’s because the shoes are too new but I don’t wanna believe it’s the shoes and wear them out and not get my full refund. Also, i have a lot of room in the toe box.Oh and also I felt a little heel slippage.

Great videos Zach! How do these compare to the Ultra Shot 3? I just picked up some Ultra Shot 3s as I was not familiar with either of these shoes. I used to use the Yonex Eclipsion but unfortunately I feel like they have become more narrow and don't fit my high instep. Also, I appreciate a wider toe box to help prevent the hot foot I sometimes get on the balls of my feet.

No thermo gun analysis? Do they run hot? How is the heel fit?

it would be very interesting to look at the ASICS sky elite ff in the context

Thanks for the review, I wished I found this early. Anyway, I have been a kswiss hypercourt express 2 user like forever as it fits my wider feet well, I tried both normal and 2E and never had problems. Recently I got the kwiss hypercourt supreme with the same size (but no 2E) and it hurts my left little toe for the entire session. I had to give my new shoes away as its not wearable for me. It feels like the supreme is a bit narrower than hypercourt express. Not sure if anyone else has the same issue.

Supreme’s are my favorite- I have a narrow flat foot.

Question, could you use these shoes for volleyball?

Please respond! I wear super feet, and I am curious if the Supreme version in this video comes with a removable insole? I usually wear 10.5’s in Nike, but recently purchased size 11 New Balance 574’s, because I would put the super feet ON TOP of the insole, and needed a little bit more room. I just learned that Super Feet should be replacing the insole, not going on top of it, SO, my dilemma is what size should I order the Hypercourt Supreme’s in, if I’m using Super Feet? Nike has always been safe in that I could always order 10.5’s across the board. But with my Super Feet dilemma not sure for these Supreme’s I want to order!

After wearing the Supreme and the Express, I prefer the locked in feel of the Supreme. I wear a custom orthotic with a heel so it can feel like you are coming out of the back of the Express.

Are the Adidas sole match bounce still worth it today?

Awesome Review! 👏🏻 I too love these shoes!! They do everything so good. The lateral flange is key and makes the very stable on wide shots. I ditched the Nikes for these and hope KSwiss keeps making them with very little changes.

Are they better than the gel solution speed ff2?

On the scale of 1 to 5 how would you rate (durability) Express 2's/Supremes compared to Asics Court FF2?

Could you do a review on the kd 15s when they become available, would love to see how they compare to the kd 14s and 13s as ive played in both and loved them.

Can you do a test that will show practical differences between same shoe but for different surfaces? Im always wondering if it even matters for recreational use

I had the express 2 at one point. I had to cut that lateral flange off the upper of the shoe because it was digging in to the side of foot, making that part really uncomfortable. Maybe if had got a 2E width it wouldn't have done this, but aside from that, I thought it was a decent shoe. The express 2 definitely needed more lock down in the heel. I constantly felt like my foot was gonna come straight out when push off to get to the net.

K-Swiss best tennis shoes period!

Only shoes wide enough for me that I’ve tried is K Swiss Bigshot Light Leather - I really need a 6E How do these compare to that shoe, maybe leather has more give?

I played with the Hypercourt Supreme for a few months before I had to put them to the back of my rotation due to the outsole wearing out near the toe. I wonder if the durability issues were related to the color of the rubber on the outsole, because based off my experience with basketball shoes, sometimes different colored outsoles of the same shoe perform differently.

hypercourt express line has probably some of the most comfortable cushioning among all court sport shoes. Nice foam makes wonders. P.S. Lots of reviews state that the hypercourt supreme's midsole actually feels different and doesn't have enough cushioning.

I didn’t notice any difference at all - just the lockdown

I’d say at least 30% of the adult players at my rec club (4,000 members) wear HCE2s. Many have 2-3 different pairs, as they go on sale often, and each year they update with new colors without changing the fit. Love mine. I switched to HCE2 (2E) from NB 1007 (4E). Fit is better on K Swiss, kinda like a 3E, really. And upper durability is way improved. NB really dropped the ball on the 1007 with the fabric tearing on the upper, see Amazon reviews, it's awful. Can't find the Hypercourt Extremes in 2E anywhere. I've heard the Ultrashots fit pretty wide too, with the regular width fitting like a 2E. May try them out some day, but I'm done with NB.

I wear and love both (express on clay, Supreme on hard court). The supreme is just a bit narrower because of the inside construction, but is a bit more secure around the ankle. The outsole of the supreme all court is absolutly NOT durable (3 pairs used).

I don't know if I want to go to a full on heavy shoe like a Barricade or Ultrashot. Would these Express 2s be enough added stability?

I noticed the insoles on both these shoes are different. The express 2 has an ortholite insole which is quite a bit more cushioned than the insole on the supremes.
