Adidas Trae Young 2.0 Review
Pros:
Materials are comfortable
Impact protection provided by Boost
Cons:
The shoe is difficult to put on
Traction is hampered by dust
Performance of the Adidas Trae Young 2.0:
Some reviewers say the traction grips well, and others say dust affects performance negatively.
The cushioning is comfortable, with plenty of impact protection under the heel.
The shoe uses a knit material all the way around, and the seams are sewn together underneath the insole. It's supportive and flexible.
One of the main complaints about the shoe is how hard it is to put on, but once it's on, the fit is snug and relatively comfortable.
Overall, the Adidas Trae Young 2 is a supportive shoe with comfortable cushioning and materials that gets held back by inconsistent traction.

The Adidas Trae Young 2 is a flexible shoe that's best for players who enjoy having more freedom of movement. It's a niche profile, but I enjoyed playing in the shoe.

Honestly I love this shoe. Traction is solid on clean courts, but it does pick up dust. The cushioning is amazing and gives you a lot of freedom of movement. For me personally the shoe fit fine, and in terms of getting into the shoe. After the 7-10 time it became much easier. I personally think it performs well outdoors, but is definitely made for a clean indoor hard-wood floor. Despite the weight it's not court heavy, and the lockdown is solid. I think if your a quick guard its perfect.

This shoe would be good for bigger guards, and forwards. The boost in the heel and light strike in the forefoot feels amazing. My only complaint is the fit, my heel feels like it’s gonna pop out, and when I stop fast, my toes smash into the front of the shoe. I would go a half size up. I also am not a fan of the lack of padding and laces. The laces are only in the forefoot, and there is not padding in the tongue. The traction needs break in time but it is also top tier.

Other than the fact that its hard to put on and the laces dont do anything, its overall a solid shoe. I can say that the traction is alright, cushioning is great, fit is fine (not considering the very small ankle collar) comfort is good, impact protection is good, breathability is meh, and the weight is heavier than average. Overall im happy with this shoe and can recommend for people that are good with the things I just stated.

Not bad tbh.Its more according to your self if you like it or not.First of all the traction picks alot, I repeat it picks alot of dust.Cusion pretty similar to the Trae 1.For support it's hard to put on but ones your feet got in the support is great but the laces doesn't do anything.And Materials is uncomfortable at first but you will get used to it.

The shoe still uses a Lightstrike forefoot and Boost in the heel, but the shank setup makes the shoe more bouncy this year.

Your rearfoot and midfoot lock into the shoe well because of how the shoe is made.

The forefoot lockdown is decent, but the heel lockdown had issues. The shoe comes off if anything catches the back of your shoe. The stability is solid because of the torsion plate.
