Thunderbolt 2 to USB 3.0

Hi!


I'm trying to get multiple USB 3.0 ports on my Macbook Pro through the Thunderbolt port. It only has two USB 2.0 ports that's agonisingly slow. Is this even possible?


I'm looking for something like this but with a Thunderbolt 2 male instead of Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C):

I can't find it anywhere. Is it not possible to even exist, because of the way Thunderbolt 2 works or is it apple that's lobbying so that Thunderbolt 2 is to become obsolete.


OR:

Can I find something similar to this but the exact opposite (i.e Thunderbolt 3 female connector and Thunderbolt 2 male):
