New Balance TWO WXY V4 Review
Pros:
Improved impact protection and cushioning
Reliable traction
Cons:
Lack of internal padding
The fit can be tricky
Performance of the New Balance TWO WXY V4:
New Balance continues to deliver impressive and reliable performance with its TWO WXY line.
The traction provides excellent grip, and the rubber is durable enough for indoor and outdoor play.
The combination of Fresh Foam and FuelCell provides improved impact protection and comfort while remaining responsive. It's an impressive balance.
Reviewers called the materials light, flexible, and breathable. The only complaint is the lack of heel padding and sculpting.
Some reviewers mention the fit is long. Others say the materials need to break in before the shoe fits well.
Support and lockdown aren't an issue. The improved cushioning provides additional stability during play.
The New Balance TWO WXY V4 is another solid performer in the TWO WXY lineup, this time with better impact protection.

Very good shoe. Containment was outstanding, plush but responsive cushion, decent traction, and comfy materials. Also, durability is good for outdoor courts (Tested on). Hoping some cooler colorways come out in this shoe because it is a beastly performer which I will certainly be buying again. Also, it runs ever so slightly snug, so wide footers, look to get this in the 2E width.

Shoe isnt very bouncy but its comfortable and very very light def in this shoe is very fun as switching def positioning is very easy because of how light the shoe is.
