The weightlifting shoe market is getting really big and Nike isn't really offering anything new with this shoe. Wow! The shoe is 1.76 ounces lighter - no one is going to notice that once the shoes are on their feet. Plus, Nike had some inherit flaws in their design and doesn't appear they've addressed them. More to come when I post up the final review...

If it's good enough for the US Olympic weightlifting team, it's good enough for you! :) If it ain't broke, why fix it?

I'm in the middle of reviewing the Nike 2s right now and I'm not impressed as they are basically just the original Romaleos with a little less weight and extra score marks in the sole. Four years and that's the best Nike can come up with? Of course, it sounds like you are doing more power lifting than Oly lifting, so maybe you should get something like the Reebok Oly which is a great shoe and much more forgiving for everyday lifting.

The Romaleos 2 is supposed to be a little more flexible in the forefoot and is 50g lighter than the Romaleos 1. Otherwise, they're the same shoe. Unless color variety is a concern of yours, I recommend the Romaleos 1 [if you're looking to buy new and you can find it in stock in your size] due to the lower price. It may be soon enough that you will be able to buy only the Romaleos 2 new. Either of the Romaleos versions are excellent for Olympic style lifts.

I need a good pair of weightlifting shoes, scratch that I need a great pair of weightlifting shoes. I need a pair that are durable and are great for deadlifts, squats, overhead press, ect. Will these shoes deliver? I want to buy a pair, I don't know if I should buy the original or the version 2.

Also a Nike rep I spoke with at the Arnold this past weekend said that for the Summer Games there will be a red, white and blue version! Even though I own a pair of Romaleos, I'm almost certainly getting my hands on a pair of those! For those interested:
