If you like the strong stop-on-a-dime bite of the circular suction-cup outsole, and can live with the low-to-ground foam offering little impact protection on hard landings, then this shoe is for you.

Context
Story & provenance
All-Position NB Breakthrough
Released in 2021, TWO WXY arrived in New Balance's team-performance line created to complement Kawhi's signature with a more versatile all-position concept. The design intent centered on building a stable, balanced, all-around basketball shoe that worked for many play styles. Notable versions or talking points included its strong immediate value and the line's fast rise as a serious performer. In community memory, the shoe is usually remembered for very good traction and support with a nicely balanced FuelCell ride. It also helps mark a specific turning point inside that line, because the shoe shows what the brand prioritized at that moment rather than simply copying the previous release.
