Tightly spaced traction pattern with durable rubber. Very sticky on clean courts but can trap dust on dirty surfaces.

Cushion
Full-length Bounce foam. Low forefoot and bouncy heel provide feedback and impact protection with a lively ride.
8.0
Materials
Patent leather upper with heavy construction. Extremely durable but not breathable and needs break-in as creasing develops.

High cut, patent leather upper and plastic torsion plate. Strong lateral stability and lockdown with minor heel slip reported.

I was pleasantly surprised. For $100 retail, the Adidas Pro Model 2G performs really well and is a super solid shoe that will work for most player types!

I slipped in these once indoor so that wasn't great. There is slight heel slippage but it didn't affect me in games. Overall the traction is good but unreliable the durability of these is insane. Both the insole and outsole hold up better than any other trainers.

Very nice shoe just needs time to break in. A bit heavy but not bad.

Traction worked well outdoors and when I tried it on my wooden floor it had a really nice bite. I am a little bit worried about dust because of the tightly-spaced traction pattern.

The full-length Bounce midsole is pretty damn nice. You feel very low-to-the-ground in the forefoot but the heel is very bouncy and provides good impact protection.

The Bounce cushioning is low-to-the-ground but offers enough feedback and bounce to make the shoe feel fun.

The patent leather takes a little to break-in but once enough creases have formed you will have no issues. The material is not breathable at all.

The patent leather and plastic torsion plate provide decent support. The heel could have been a little flatter but overall stability was not an issue.
