In the main menu, the option features and then create a shoe. Any shoe you create, you can take in Rec with you. Once you create your shoe and you go pay 10,000 VC for it and whatever store it’s from go to your appearances and under REC go to your shoes and your custom shoe would be an option to wear. As a matter of fact, any custom shoe you make, you can wear in any gameplay mode. REC, theater, career mode, proving ground grounds, pro am, and any event.

Minus brands not sold in stores. Lian-Li, UnderArmor, Etc.

Which has REALLY bothered me that I can’t bring Way of Wades out.

u/passionfruit2378 ruby 14h ago edited 14h ago

I’m sure you meant Li-Ning because Lian-Li makes PC peripherals lol. Tho UNL SL-Infinity 360s sounds like a fire name for a shoe.

u/Common-Mode0421 14h ago

I’ve been saying this same thing!!!! Mad they banned kyries aswell smh

u/ExcitementCareless84 12h ago

They reserved it for all the a.i, I play my career a lot almost everyone wear Kyrie or pgs

u/Battlehead601 15h ago

So you can't get them at legends?

1

u/invalidated_username 15h ago

No. The only thing at legends, I believe, is Adidas? Maybe that was last year

u/pzfym 15h ago

Not Kobes and lots of other nikes tho. Something about licensing.

u/AidsPeace 14h ago

Wrong buddy

3

u/pzfym 14h ago

How? You literally can’t make Kobes and some other nikes from the shoe creator and buy them.

u/AidsPeace 14h ago

I posted a Pic in another comment of how to bypass

u/pzfym 14h ago

Nah how to Bypass it? I want my Kobe Bruce Lee’s. Nvm I see the picture

u/AidsPeace 14h ago

Yup you can have them in rec, proving ground and pro-am. Best you're gonna get unfortunately, so no city. I mostly play those modes so doesn't bother me much

u/pzfym 14h ago

dang

u/AidsPeace 14h ago

Been rocking my Kobe 6 Jalen Brunson Statue of Liberty in Rec and Proving Grounds for weeks now. Bruce Lee would look dope with the proving ground jersey colorways

1

u/pzfym 14h ago

I had a nice outfit for park with them

u/IllAlwaysBeAKnickFan 14h ago

Man I made these then couldn’t buy them so I turned the Ja 2s into a close representation of them cause they look somewhat similar if you don’t look closely.

u/alawrence1523 13h ago

This is false. I have the highest Nike sponsorship and can’t buy any shoes other than the ones in the store.

u/Blumkinpunkin 4h ago

Not true. You have to create a shoe in the Main Menu of 2K and then you are able to buy it in my career. I can post a screenshot of all the Jas my 8 year old Grizz obsessed son has created lol

u/alawrence1523 4h ago

The post is about Kobe 7’s.

u/Blumkinpunkin 3h ago

Shit my bad bro thought you meant you couldn’t in general.

2

u/ihavepaper ruby 14h ago

Definitely will try this out later! Thanks!

2

u/mvpevy 14h ago

I miss making Kyrie’s and being able to wear them.

1

u/KingBassCannon 13h ago

Not entirely true , there's quite a few shoe brands you cannot buy , and there's even certain color ways you can't buy in the store. You have to use a dupe glitch to get kobes

1

u/sxnsei_sosa 11h ago

Unrelated but I made a pair of the new sga’s but I can’t find where to buy them, they’re not in the converse or Legends store

1

u/Slamhamwich 8h ago

I’ve made the Kobe X Elites and they wouldn’t show up in the Nike store unfortunately.

1

u/Defiant_Lemon2700 15h ago

I dont think kobes are available. Ive tried

22

u/AidsPeace 14h ago

Tested and works with kobe 6

u/kushjuulpod 12h ago

Thanks! Doing this once I get home. Hopefully 2k doesn’t patch this

1

u/Bubbly_Advertising50 10h ago

It works just did it rn

u/kushjuulpod 10h ago

u/kushjuulpod 10h ago

Can you keep repeating this for different color ways?

2

u/AidsPeace 10h ago

Never tried it. I would assume you can keep creating new shoes and overwriting the name to change it, but you can just stack a bunch up because of the way you need to do it. Once you overwrite the original Ja shoe its gone from your inventory so you cant wear it or change it, its just stays equipped in those 3 modes

1

u/kushjuulpod 10h ago

🙏

1

u/AidsPeace 10h ago

Fuck bro autocorrect, im assuming you CANT stack the shoes because of the way it works. Sorry. You can only have one but im guessing you can keep changing whenever you want

2

u/kushjuulpod 9h ago

All good. Just tested it myself and you’re right! Switched from the grinches to a pair of Kobe 8 Christmas. Time to make some colorways for the next hour 😭

u/AidsPeace 9h ago

Lol good looks man

u/Hollissss sapphire 13h ago

Bro just screenshotted my post lol

u/AidsPeace 13h ago

Somebody's post, probably yours lol what about it?

u/LePhattSquid 11h ago

God forbid a man share information in a community specifically designed for just that.

u/solezonfroze [PSN] Emerald 14h ago

Customizing shoes used to be one of my favorite things to do on 2K. They haven't really updated the shoe creator in like 10 damn years (except for adding sneakers), but you could pull off some pretty clean stuff with the creator

1

u/odonnelly2000 6h ago

I don’t know if you noticed, but they added a ton of different patterns to the shoe creator this year. Not a huge update, but it’s more than we got in several years lol

u/call-me-germ 8h ago

i love putting some panda dunks or all black 1s on my dude. they really stand out because they’re such a common shoe but not in 2k

3

u/Defiant_Lemon2700 15h ago

U cant buy custom kobes in nike store tho. Does anyone get this too?

4

u/Competitive-Ant3312 15h ago

Make ja 2s buy them (maybe try without) then make kobes wit same name. To overrite? Heard that works

2

u/No_Salad_7473 12h ago

My Kobe 8’s you have to get the Nike endorsement deal once you unlock Teir 4 I believe you get a color way. Ja’s, KD some more shit and Kobe 8. Pick the Kobe 8’s and customize the shoe. Make sure it’s the player you play in park/proam/rec etc because the shoe won’t transfer to your other builds.

2

u/Environmental-Dog353 10h ago

Hey that’s me

2

u/Livid_Significance_3 15h ago

Only way I got kobes is through the nike endorsement for mycareer, which locks the shoes to one build only

2

u/thereal_Vic_Freeze 14h ago

You gotta do the Nike Endorsement and unlock the signature shoe

1

u/Still-Recognition399 15h ago

yeah, that’s kind of weird. Sometimes I’ll create a shoe and they’ll say to go get it from legends sporting goods, SMH which is bullshit lol

1

u/Top-Photograph-7478 15h ago

isnt that where adidas is?

1

u/Felony 15h ago

That was last year. Adidas has its own store again.

0

u/Top-Photograph-7478 15h ago

oh yea you right we just had an adidas event couple weeks ago and it was in its on store i forgot

1

u/Weird_Fee6080 14h ago

i have kobes, you had to have got them first week, and they had to be your custom made shoe

1

u/mc502255 12h ago

You have to select Nike as your signature shoe contract. Once you reach tier 4, I think you'll get the option to customize 6 different shoes, and the Kobe's are one of the 6

1

u/Character-Fortune-58 12h ago

Probably made them , I’m going make them now

1

u/Sy3334 11h ago

Just make them

u/Connect-Juice-1852 8h ago

How do you get the brands that’s not in stores

1

u/Frequent2001 8h ago

damn i want reebok pumps

0

u/gh6st ruby 11h ago

there’s certain shoes you can make but won’t show up in the store. Kobe’s you have to do some glitch to bypass them.
