Adidas Adizero Defiant Bounce 2 review

Who should buy the Adidas Adizero Defiant Bounce 2

Whether your a tennis beginner or a pro, the Adizero Defiant Bounce 2 is commendable. It is a solid option if you:

• Need a shoe that is supportive, multi-court footwear that's meant for speed. 
• Need a shoe that foot-hugging built and an engineered lockdown structure that plays well with you. 
• Need a shoe that has a well-cushioned sole and designed with sufficient spring back element and the use of a hard-wearing rubber outsole gives this shoe an edge on hard-court surfaces too.

Abrasion-resistant non-marking rubber 

The bottom layer is equipped with an abrasion-resistant non-marking rubber that’s engineered to provide longevity as it gets exposed to repeated strain. It can resist external forces like impact and abrasion.

Flexible Bounce cushioning property

Its middle slice features the flexible Bounce cushioning property that cradles the foot from pressure during landing. This component aids the foot as it launches back towards the next step.

A durable TPU bridge serves as a stabilizing unit right under the midfoot. Such a lightweight element is attached to the shoe to support the foot when pivoting or changing directions. It meant to lessen the chances of excessive foot rotation, thereby reducing foot aches.

Durable wrapping and supportive padding

The multi-layered textile upper that’s interlaced with TPU foil in key areas has an abrasion-resistant attribute. It forms into a seam-free bootie structure that’s meant to secure and hug the foot as it moves at different trajectories.

The padding around the Achilles and collar is projected to offer heightened comfort. This feature also prevents the foot from jutting out or sliding inside during aggressive shots. Custom orthotics are welcome as this second Defiant Bounce iteration comes with a removable insole. Such soft padding that complements the Bounce midsole is purposed to grant support during landings.

Excellent arch support

Defiant Bounce 2 has a similar length, width, and toebox space as the original all-court profile. Its arch isn't aggressively raised, which benefits those with normal to high arches.
