8.7
Traction
Herringbone traction pattern with a revised rubber compound. Strong indoor bite and stops, narrow grooves can trap dust, outdoor durability reports are mixed.
9.0
Cushion
Full-length Boost caged inside a Phylon-like midsole. Lively and responsive ride with solid impact protection; thinner forefoot and chunkier heel.
8.0
Materials
Textile and mesh upper with synthetic and felt overlays. Lightweight and breathable but feels a bit cheap in hand; durability is acceptable.
8.3
Support
Plastic midfoot cage, wide base, and plastic shank. Provides solid lateral stability and torsional rigidity though slight heel slip was noted.
8.0
Fit
Conforms closely with minimal dead space and good lockdown. Runs slightly large for regular feet so many recommend a half size down.

Outdoor
Outdoor reports conflict. Some testers found the rubber tears quickly while others praised the compound as durable, so caution is advised outdoors.

The performance of the Adidas BYW 2.0 was really good. If you want a comfortable, supportive shoe with a nice cushioning setup and you don't mind the slightly too expensive retail price, then go for it!

For $160, this is not the best shoe in this price range. But if you are a fan of a more responsive Boost cushioning or you can find this shoe on a discount - I would highly recommend it. This is a great performer and one of the best team models Adidas has put on the market in a while.

I really like how the BYW 2.0 plays. It's low to the ground and still has impact protection because of the Boost. It's also well-ventilated and very stable.

Overall a very good shoe, however there are a few gripes that stop it from making it perfect. Traction was great and the cushioning was beastly with my knees feeling fine. The support is great and I feel stable and comfortable while wearing them.
However the fit is what makes or breaks it for a lot of people. Very roomy toebox however before breaking it in the toebox was also a bit short as well. And the rubber is already slowly breaking down after about 20 hours of play. Still love it.

The rubber herringbone traction pattern should be pretty good indoors, but the grooves are pretty narrow so be prepared to wipe off dust.

The rubber compound is much harder this time around. The herringbone pattern also performs well on both clean and dusty courts.

The full-length Boost midsole is heavily caged but feels incredible. Reminds me a little of the Harden Vol.3. Checks off everything I want about a cushioning setup.

The full-length Boost cushioning is partly caged and is a really good balance of court feel/responsiveness and impact protection.

There is full-length Boost caged within a Phylon-like material. The Boost is thin at the forefoot and more chunky in the heel. It reminds me of the Marquee Boost.

For a $160 shoe, these are not the materials you want to see. The Mesh upper is thin, soft, and gets the job done, but feels a little cheap in-hand.

The textile and mesh upper with different synthetic/felt overlays is not exactly premium but gets the job done just fine.

I felt laterally contained thanks to the wide and stable base. No issues at all with support and lockdown.

No heel slippage and no side-to-side movements on the footbed. The wide base adds to the stability, and the plastic shank helps with the torsional rigidity.

When laced up, the shoe provides great lateral support because of the plastic cage surrounding the midfoot. It is a bit slippery around the heel area.
