Who should NOT buy

Breathability was a problem for the New Balance Two WXY V4 during our test games. If you want a shoe with better ventilation at the same price point, you can go for the Funktioner New balance Sport-Bh Q Speed or the Femme New Balance Fresh Foam 880v10 Black Black Caviar. If you have more dollars to spare, going for the womens new balance hook and loop 574 toro redwhite toro redwhite Sustainability New balance 680v6 Running Shoes!

Though we don't consider the cushioning of this shoe a problem, some players might prefer their shoes to feel softer underfoot. They might be better off with shoes like the Ronnie Fieg Teases Upcoming New Balance 990v4 Collab or the NEW BALANCE ML574EGG SNEAKER HERRENSCHUHE SPORTSCHUHE GRAU, New Balance 408 Men S Grey Silver Low Casual Athletic Adidas. The Ronnie Fieg Teases Upcoming New Balance 990v4 Collab, being a shoe for a big guy like James Harden, is also a wide-feet friendly pick.

The thickness of the heel felt like the usual. True enough, our caliper measured it to be just around the average at 31.2 mm.

Drop

Given that both the heel and the forefoot were of average thickness, we expected the drop to be just around the average, too. We were proven right when our calculations revealed that the upper is 9.9 mm. 

Now did we have problems with the average thickness of the midsole? Not at all! Quite on the contrary, we appreciated that this kind of cushioning setup gave us the right balance between compression and court feel. We gained control over our steps and got protected from impact all at the same time.

Midsole softness

Note: a low durometer measurement equals a soft material, whereas a high measurement means it's firm.

Though it felt nowhere near the softness delivered by the Adidas Ronnie Fieg Teases Upcoming New Balance 990v4 Collab, we still did not have problems with the softness of the New Balance Der Naked Copenhagen x New Balance 1080 erscheint ebenfalls um 10's midsole.

It was enough to keep us protected and pain-free as we ran up and down the court and attempted to score with multiple jump shots. Our HA durometer gave it a rating of 25.0.

Using a calliper, we learned that the New Balance Der Naked Copenhagen x New Balance 1080 erscheint ebenfalls um 10 measures 101.7 mm at the widest part of its toebox. This number is almost equal to the measurement of the typical basketball shoe. 

Given this, we can safely say that this basketball shoe is not for those with unusually wide or narrow feet. Both types of players must be willing to make size adjustments so that they can enjoy the full potential of this NB hoop shoe.

Stability

Lateral stability test

We had issues with the lateral hold that this shoe had on our feet. The medial side seemed to lack some stiffness, and our feet tended to sway a bit too far in that direction. Fortunately, this did not result in slips but it sure did lead to some wobbliness especially when we executed quick sidesteps.

Torsional rigidity

The mild flimsiness of the medial sidewalls was well compensated by the stiffness of the base. Aside from contributing a great deal to the stability of our steps, the stiff base also successfully prevented painful slips.

We manually assessed the torsional rigidity of the New Balance Der Naked Copenhagen x New Balance 1080 erscheint ebenfalls um 10 in our lab, and we were just so happy to give it a well-deserved 5 out of 5.

Our manual lab assessments revealed that the heel had moderate stiffness. This was a good thing because it gave a secure clasp around the rearfoot without being too restrictive. We still had enough flexibility to position our feet appropriately when we had to catch the ball at unique angles. And we  still had enough stiffness to prevent ankle twisting.

Midsole width - forefoot

The width of the forefoot part of the platform is greater than usual at 119.5 mm. The above-average width of this part contributed to this shoe's stability.

The New Balance Der Naked Copenhagen x New Balance 1080 erscheint ebenfalls um 10 felt like it had the usual flexibility. We measured how much force was needed for it to bend at 90 degrees, and we saw that it needed 44.4N, which is just slightly greater than the force needed by the typical basketball shoe.

The reduced flexibility definitely helped with this shoe's stability and lockdown. If this shoe were a cage, we were sure that our feet were not going anywhere once they were placed inside the New Balance Der Naked Copenhagen x New Balance 1080 erscheint ebenfalls um 10!

Breathability

There are visible perforations in the upper of the New Balance Der Naked Copenhagen x New Balance 1080 erscheint ebenfalls um 10; however, they did not translate to breathability that we could appreciate. We felt the heat, and our feet started to feel uncomfortable as our games dragged on.

This shoe is visibly not of the same level as the New Balance 327 Summer Fog Seafoam WWS327FM, which scored a 5 out of 5 on our smoke test. We could only give it a 2 out of 5 simply because the smoke that we pumped into the shoe found it hard to escape through the upper material. If not for the spaces on the sides of the tongue, there would have been no escape! Yikes!

The results of our light test were also not that notable. The holes and vents did not let a lot of light pass.

We examined the upper material under our in-lab microscope, and we saw that there was still another layer of material underneath the visible holes. Because of this obstruction, both smoke and light were not able to easily pass through.

Durability

Toebox durability

During our test games, our shoes got stepped on several times. We also even dragged the toebox against the floor when we were eloquent, trying to get past our defender. Fortunately, the toebox successfully weathered all that pressure.

In the lab, even the Dremel was not able to cause significant damage. It fared better than the budget-friendly new balance m1300uk made in england,  which did not even put up any form of resistance AT ALL (hence its score of 1 out of 5). The Der Naked Copenhagen x New Balance 1080 erscheint ebenfalls um 10 truly deserved the 4 out of 5 for durability that the shoe got from us.

The heel padding was even more impressive. It did not only feel comfortable and secure, it felt incredibly durable as well. We could say goodbye to blisters without feeling too flimsy in the process.

Our Dremel test only confirmed our initial observations. Our high-pressure Dremel drilling did not even leave any visible mark on the heel padding. If we could give more than a perfect 5, we definitely would!

Outsole durability

Durability-wise, the outsole of this New Balance basketball shoe was truly a bomb. None of the rubbing and quick changes in direction that we did on both indoor and outdoor courts eroded the outsole. 

We subjected the outsole to our Dremel test, and we are pleased to see that it incurred a dent that was only 0.7 mm deep. This is a lot shallower than the dent we'd seen on the average basketball shoe outsole.

Misc

Grip / Traction

The unique pattern etched in the outsole of this New Balance hoop shoe delivered just the right amount of grip that we needed: not too grippy that it was difficult to move, and not too smooth either that friction was reduced and slipping was likely.
