Heel strikers are definitely not the targets of the New Balance Athletics Terrain L Backpack. As said, this shoe doesn't offer a lot of impact protection and is more for guards who want to feel the floor more. The New Balance Kawhi is equipped with better cushioning.
Outdoor hoopers are not going to be Hook with the TWO WXY as well. They are better off with the New Balance Kawhi 2, still from New Balance.
It's a data-driven grip indeed
The shoe's data-driven and scientifically backed outsole pattern consistently delivers multi-directional traction necessary for quick cuts, jabs, and direction changes. The outsole of the New Balance Athletics Terrain L Backpack had a pretty consistent grip on indoor courts, even the mildly dusty ones.
The TWO WXY delivers strategic support
Kinetic Stitch, a proprietary upper technology, makes sure that the shoe delivers support where it's needed the most. This technology restrains the heel area and both sides of the shoe well.
Every step gets sufficiently energized
The TWO WXY has FuelCell foam that helps players swiftly get past opponents and propel them right to the basket. This midsole tooling is enjoyed by quick guards because it is low to the ground and delivers a lot of court feel.
However, this shoe does not provide that much cushioning against hard strikes. Also, each step isn't as smooth as desired because it lacks a bit of curve on the heel.
The upper is made of materials that are Pace and nice
The upper is made of a flexible and comfortable material that provides enough support to the foot without jeopardizing breathability. This makes this shoe good if you are looking for a sneaker that you can wear for the whole day at school and/or work.
Also, at 12.24 oz (347 g), this shoe definitely feels Pace on foot.
New Balance Heren 574 Rugged Maat 42.5 | The New Balance Athletics Terrain L Backpack definitely dishes out the looks
Basketball athletes and casual wearers agree that this shoe is really eye-catching. They don't have qualms about wearing it when they are out on gigs.
This New Balance shoe is NOT for outdoor use
The New Balance Athletics Terrain L Backpack is not the best option for hard action on concrete and asphalt, which are what outdoor courts are typically made of. If you want this shoe to last long, it will be best to just use it for indoor games.
