Fit for Speed' is the slogan of the new Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 2 tennis shoe ! This shoe combines speed with a 'glove-like' fit. The Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 2 contains a truckload of technology to provide the lightest and fastest possible shoe with a seamless fit. The shoe contains, among other things:

• Primeknit woven upper with 'sock' for a seamless fit, comfort, ventilation and stability. This technology has been successfully used in football shoes by Adidas for 2 seasons
• The highly abrasion-resistant Adituff material on the toe box and medial forefoot for extra durability
• Adiprene cushioning in the heel and forefoot
• 3D Torsion for midfoot support
• Sprint frame 'chassis' for support in a lightweight jacket
• Very durable Adiwear outsole

How is the fit of the Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 2?

The Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 2 has a medium-wide fit. The shoe is therefore not made for very narrow feet. Despite the Primeknit sock, the shoe is comparable in size to other Adidas models. At Adidas I am normally a size 44 (UK 9.5, US 10). I also end up with the same size with this shoe. The entry into the shoe is a bit different than I am used to because of the Primeknit upper and sock. But once the shoe fits, it feels very comfortable. The arch support is not very high, but I wouldn't expect anything less from a shoe that is made for speed. Another top shoe in this lightweight genre is the ASICS Gel Solution Speed ​​3 . This is slightly narrower and more compact on the forefoot compared to the Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 2. The midfoot support is comparable: both shoes enclose the midfoot/instep very comfortably.

How does this shoe perform on the court?

I haven't been able to test the shoe itself on the crushed brick yet, because the outdoor season doesn't start until next month. However, there was already the necessary feedback available about how this shoe performs on the hard court. There is also a sole type that is specially made for this. The fit is experienced as very pleasant and comfortable by everyone. The 'sock fit' is very nice here. Once the shoe is on, it fits like a glove. The 'low to the ground' feeling gives the shoe a fast and direct feel, with excellent lateral stability. As mentioned earlier, the fit works particularly well with the average to slightly wider foot. The durability of the outsole is average to good. For ultimate sustainability, Adidas also offers the well-known Barricade. In that respect, this Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 2 clearly serves a different group of players. As far as we are concerned, the Adidas Adizero Ubersonic 2 has clearly improved compared to version 1 and the shoe, together with the ASICS Gel Solution Speed ​​3, is currently the top in the lightweight tennis shoe segment.
