OS NBA 2K25 Shoe Vault - Discussion

[MiracleMet718]

After I max out all my shoes…

Guess I’ll have to delete some customs.

Thought this would take me a lot longer than it did. Lots of guys that wore Harden 7s and 8s all moved to the 9s so took me 20 minutes or so to make updates.

6 new shoes in Season 8 files but they aren't working in game yet
Zion 4
Hesi Low 2
All Pro Nitro 2
MB5
Stewie 4
and 741 - Jaylen Brown

The Zion 4 is a much better looking shoe than his other models. Nice that they're finally getting Brown his shoes as well, maybe now they can also update KCP and Isaiah Joe

[biker_jim_uk]

However they haven't got the tongue logo right so I've fixed it!

Are these showing up in the game yet?

Not for me

I'm surprised that the Luka 4 was never included in the game.

At least it's good to know these will all be included at launch when 2K26 is available.

For us console players, my two hopes for next year (which definitely won’t happen) is allowing custom coloring of patterns (and more patterns to begin with) and allowing reflective and dull texture for all types of textures. It really only exists for metal, but plenty of today’s colorways have fully reflective plastic or a dull leather that isn’t suede. Even if they added it as an additional set of texture within the list so we have more options, it would make it much better.

Still working with what they have to make it work in game, but both would just make the shoes look that much better.

My hope is that 2K26 is current-gen only and moves away from older consoles. I would hope that creates more opportunities to do more with the Shoe Creator feature. The number one wish for me is to finally adapt the creation features that are available in the WWE 2K series such as uploading custom images to the game. This feature would be so helpful when creating shoes with unique color patterns that can't be replicated in the current shoe editor.

Yeah, no reason I can see why we can't do that, and it would work on old gen too, we were able to load pics for courts and jerseys and it's just the same thing really.

I wonder what happened to the shoes that were supposedly in the files

I think they are in there for next year so we’ll see it in 2k26.

[rbillan]

Hope we get Jimmy Butler's Li-Ning JB 3 shoes and or his Buckets shoes!

[donspligala]

I’m really dreading having to make all 500 of my shoes again on NBA2k26

[XxKnicksRules215xX]

bruh it's the reason I stopped playing the game last year, well that and CFB 25 but 2k has to incorporate a shoe share cause making these shoes every year is a MKer lol

[Docthreat]

Just finished DL'ing shaders for 2k26. So far the creator, all old patterns are gone. They are replaced with a new single page of patterns. When you select a pattern, you can then select the colors in the patterns (up to 3 I think, but maybe more). There are different camo patterns, plaids, shapes, etc. You can scale and rotate the patterns you choose. Other than new patterns, there seems to be no other changes to the overall creator
