Bright colors and big energy come together in the Tatum 2 "Vortex." The lightweight, flexible design was created with energy return in mind, and this colorway is all about how Jayson helps energize his team. When you're wearing them on the court, your opponents won't be able to ignore all the moves you make—but that doesn't mean they can stop you from scoring.

Conforming Fit
The frame wraps underneath the sole and onto the upper, helping support your low-to-the-ground gameplay.
Get Grippy
You're always moving on the court. That's where the rubber outsole and ground-contact foam come in—adding responsiveness and traction for your offense and defense.
Lightweight Build
Every time you go up with a light shoe, you're saving energy. We used rubber on the outsole (where you need it most) but foam with ample traction does the heavy lifting.

Tatum 2 "Vortex"
This is a modal window.
Behind The Design: Tatum 2
Jayson Tatum always finds a way. A way to the basket. A way to his dreams. A way to elevate his game—and his signature shoe. But it all starts with a little voice in his head telling him there’s nothing he can’t do. When things get tough, Lil Jay steps in—a kid with big dreams, and the imagination to make them come true. When Jayson lets him shine, the answer always comes through. The Tatum 2 celebrates the inner child that keeps Jayson inspired—turning his childhood sketches, ideas and dreams into a reality, to help you do the same.

Lock In Your Game
Taking cues from Lil Jay’s joy, flexibility and creative style of play, the Tatum 2 is designed to help you make the game your own. Plus, it packs all the court-tech you need into our most lightweight shoe yet—so you can keep balling until the final buzzer.Those lateral moves require a shoe that works with you—and the Tatum 2 delivers on that. Paired with our best-in-class Phylon frame and a TPU insert at the heel, the Tatum 2 provides next-level support with strategically-placed foam and textile pods in the upper for comfort at key pressure points. The result: a shoe with the flexibility to keep up with your moves, and the containment you need to see them through.

Optimized Grip
Fast breaks, getting back on defense, on and off-ball sets—movement is at the heart of the game. But you can’t make your next move without sure footing. That’s where the Tatum 2’s rubber outsole and ground contact foam come in—providing you the responsiveness and traction you need for those quick pivots and heel-toe transitions.

Energize The Court
A great first quarter is nice—but a great game is even better. That’s why the Tatum 2 is optimized to keep your energy up, with a single-layer mesh upper and a reduced amount of rubber on the outsole making it the lightest shoe in our lineup. Pair that with the load absorption of the full-length Air Strobel, and you get a shoe that’s engineered to help keep your second wind breezing through every minute you’re on the court.
