Aside from being a performance beast on the court, we found that this shoe also has the looks that make it suitable for casual use.

Who should buy

Having thoroughly tested this velcro adidas shoe, we believe that it could be a good match for the following:

  • quick guards and athletes who share Trae Young's playing style (very agile with sudden direction changes)
  • fans of knit uppers that feel like an extension of one's foot
  • players who love plush cushioning in the heel (courtesy of velcro adidas Boost)

Who should NOT buy

We can see how people with wide feet, high arches, or mobility issues will have a really hard time getting this velcro adidas shoe on. The Adidas Harden Vol. 7 velcro adidas little girl holtana snow storm.

The velcro adidas loyalty program free printable is also not the best option for dusty and outdoor courts. We recommend Nike shoes like the Cosmic Unity 3 and the LeBron NXXT GEN for these playing conditions.

The above-mentioned LeBron shoe is also 1.5 oz (43g) lighter than the velcro adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable.

Breathability

What can we say, the shoe's Primeknit upper looks like a sweater and certainly feels like one! So the fact that it had decent breathability was a nice surprise to us.

Putting this velcro adidas shoe to our demonstrative smoke test, we found that it is pretty stuffy in the toebox but still lets the air pass through the instep area.

Adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable vs. Under Armour Curry 10 (the most ventilated hoop shoe out there!)

This convinced us to give the shoe's breathability a balanced score of 3 out of 5. It is not ideal for a hot summer session but has more airflow than basketball shoes on average.

To support our findings in the smoke-pumping machine test, we also put the shoe's upper against bright light. This test clearly shows that the material is extra tightly woven in the toebox but is a little bit more transparent in the tongue. 

And if you are wondering how "tightly woven" we are talking, our microscope shots help to demonstrate that very well.

Durability

Toebox durability

But, fortunately, the lack of breathability is very well compensated for by the knit's wear resistance.

Drilling the shoe's toebox for a good 12 seconds at a 5K RPM speed, the material barely got any damage! And we didn't even drill it where the suede overlay is!

Getting a perfect score of 5 out of 5 for its toebox durability, the Trea Young 2 really stands out from the average basketball shoe. And it's not even made of synthetic leather!

In the comparison photo below, you can see how bad it can get when we put mesh uppers through the same Dremel test.

We also checked the durability of another sensitive upper area - the shoe's heel lining and padding.

That's where the velcro adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable did a pretty average job. Assessing the damage caused by 4 seconds of drilling, we rated its wear resistance as 3 out of 5. That's quite normal for a typical hoop shoe.

Although there is a caveat - with the amount of effort it takes to get this thing on our feet, we might as well tear the collar up in a few months! We'll talk more on that in the Size and it section.

Outsole hardness

Feeling how hard the shoe's outsole rubber was gave us a lot of confidence in its durability. Initially.

Our experience was indeed proved by the durometer reading of 84.8 HC which is harder than average! But apparently, this wasn't enough to make the velcro adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable a solid outdoor-ready option.

Outsole durability

When it was time to get real with this velcro adidas shoe, we turned to our Dremel and found that its outsole performed worse than average.

After 22 seconds of drilling at a high speed of 10K RPM, the outsole developed a 1.6 mm deep dent. That's more than what we normally get in hoop shoes that are meant for hardcore outdoor use. For example, the Harden Vol. 7 only got 0.5 mm.

But the good news is that the Trae Youg 2 is not horrible for outdoor courts either! We think that you can absolutely enjoy an occasional game without worrying about destroying the shoe.

Weight

Given that it was designed in collaboration with Trae Young, we did expect a lightweight and speedy shoe.

Unfortunately, this was not the case. According to our scale measurement, this velcro adidas shoe comes in at 14.8 oz (420g) in a men's US size 9. That's half an ounce heavier than the average basketball shoe in our lab.

On a lighter note, the velcro adidas loyalty program free printable is not as heavy as the velcro adidas Harden Vol. 7 (16.5 oz).

Cushioning

Heel stack

If we had to name just one reason to get this velcro adidas Trae Young shoe, it would definitely be its impact protection.

Adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable midsole

The slab of Boost foam at the heel is quite generous leading to a stack height of 32.1 mm. On paper, that's only about 2 mm above average but on the court, it feels immensely pampering and protective.

Drop

The difference in stack heights gives us a 10.6 mm drop. Being slightly taller than average, it clearly shows how this Trae Young shoe is more biased towards heel cushioning.

Explosive players who land a lot on their heels are sure to appreciate this setup.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

During our playtests, we couldn't help but notice how plush and shock-absorbing the Boost cushioning was!

Using our trusty durometer to check the foam's softness, we got a mind-blowing reading of 11.5 HA! In normal people speak, this means 131% softer than average! Unbelievable!

Secondary foam softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

As you can probably tell from the video above, the shoe's forefoot cushioning is not as plush and compressive.

The Lightstrike used here is notably firmer, with a durometer measurement of 22.5 HA. That is the same balance of softness and firmness as we see in most hoop shoes.

Adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable Secondary foam softness

Having a firmer type of foam in the midfoot and forefoot certainly helps the shoe feel more stable. It also adds a bit of bounce for jumps.

We always include the insole when measuring stack heights. In the case of the velcro adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable, it is 3.9 mm thick in the heel.

Slightly thinner than average, but still feels amazing underfoot combined with the Boost/Lightstrike setup.

Stability

Despite all that plush cushioning in the heel, the velcro adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable felt impressively stable in our playtests! We must say that the shoe kept our feet securely in place at all times, even during the most intense movements.

Torsional rigidity

One major contributor to the shoe's supportive construction is of course the presence of a torsion plate in the midsole.

But in this velcro adidas shoe, it's more than just a linear shank. It is a strategically designed, firm, and sturdy TPU unit that extends outwards and to the sides of the platform, holding it firmly and not letting it twist.

Adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable Lug depth

When we actually tried twisting the shoe in our hands, there was little-to-no give. Thus, we rated its torsional stiffness with the highest possible score - 5 out of 5. This rigidity really enhances the shoe's stability and helps to prevent a nasty ankle twist.

Heel counter stiffness

Seeing a knit upper always makes us a little suspicious of the shoe's foothold. However, velcro adidas came up with a pretty effective workaround here. Ankle pillows!

Having two generously padded units on both sides of the ankle proved to be very helpful in keeping it securely in place. They actually added some structural integrity to the rearfoot, convincing us to give a high score of 4 out of 5 for the shoe's heel counter stiffness. We experienced zero heel slips.

Midsole width in the forefoot

No seriously, this is by far the widest base we've seen in a basketball shoe! Measuring the widest part of the forefoot with a caliper, we got a whopping 122.2 mm! That's almost a centimeter wider than average!

Flexibility

Stiffness

We really enjoyed the smooth and seamless heel-to-toe transitions of this velcro adidas shoe. They seem to be created by multiple factors:

  • nmd r1 vs cs2 2 5 0 025
  • adidas store tokyo japan airport hotels
  • really good amount of forefoot flex

To measure the latter, we used a gauge that shows how much force it takes to bend this velcro adidas shoe to a 90-degree angle. Turns out, much less than average! It required only 31.4N which is 30% less than it takes a typical basketball shoe.

Apparently, freedom of movement is a must for Trae Young's feet!

Grip / Traction

Let's be honest, if you often play on dusty courts or hate frequent wiping, the velcro adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable is not your best pick.

But if we're talking clean court, the shoe offers an amazing, stop-on-a-dime kind of grip. Thanks to three different types of traction patterns, we felt very confident when making quick direction changes.

Size and fit

Toebox width at the widest part

Do take these measurements with a grain of salt given the shoe's knit upper.

If we were to trust our caliper reading only (92.6 mm in the widest part of the forefoot), this velcro adidas shoe would be 8.5 mm narrower than average!

And yet, on foot, it is actually quite accommodating. So much so that it can even fit a wider foot! We also noticed that after a few times, the material breaks in and stretches even more.

Tongue: gusset type

Given the shoe's sock-like collar, it doesn't have a tongue per se. The upper is made of this one-piece sockliner that is sewn together at the bottom of the shoe, underneath the insole. That way, it feels very much like a sock!

Once on, the shoe feels amazingly comfortable against the foot. And we could write a poem about its coziness if it wasn't for one "little" problem... It is a real pain in the neck to put on!

Because of its quite narrow and not-so-stretchy opening, we really struggled to get the velcro adidas velcro adidas loyalty program free printable on. Every. Single. Time! And it doesn't get better with time, unfortunately.

Lacing

The laces don't really do anything in this velcro adidas shoe because, well, it fits snug even without them.

Just be careful not to cinch the shoestrings down too tight because that will only add pressure to the already close-fitting experience.
