It’s about pride. It’s about power. And if you’re hungry and ready to devour your opponents, suit up for battle in a pair of New Balance TWO WXY basketball shoes. On August 15, the New Balance sneakers drop in men’s sizes in a “Ready for Battle” red and blue colorway.

While often passed over for flashier styles, the TWO WXY silhouette launched in late 2020 as yet another offering in New Balance’s bball lineup. This positionless sneaker comes built for any player in any spot on the court. Power forwards will find as much to love about these kicks as point guards.

New Balance’s obsessive engineering works in its favor with this offering. The TWO WXY comes packed end to end with play-enhancing features designed for peak performance. Take, for instance, the data-driven outsole similar to the Kawhi collection. The modern traction pattern helps drive a player down the court, allowing them to stop on a dime and lift off toward the hoop.

A FuelCell foam drives the wearer forward, thanks to its propulsive feel and energy-returning properties. The midsole shank provides torsional rigidity, meaning the foot stays in place for power-making plays, lessening the chances of injury in the process.

Other creature comforts contained within this men’s New Balance basketball sneaker package contribute to its performance look and feel. A mid cut collar provides ankle stability, with a lacing system that gives the wearer a custom, locked-down fit. A no-sew tongue ensures the shoe won’t rub raw against the foot, and the Ortholite sockliner amplifies comfort.

Composed of synthetic materials with no-sew overlays and stitching to add support, the upper is at once lightweight with a data-generated, fingerprint-like pattern along the quarter panels, also reminiscent of Kawhi kicks. Don’t sleep on these spectacular sneaks! Get ready to rumble in a pair of the men’s New Balance TWO WXY “Ready for Battle” basketball shoes. Find them at Hibbett | City Gear on August 15.
