The renewed and improved version of adidas' premium tennis shoes is here. Discover in this article what sets the adidas Adizero Cybersonic 2 apart from its predecessor and whether this might be the tennis shoe for you!
Just like the Ubersonic series, the Cybersonic has also undergone a number of technological updates. In this case, the innovations are mainly focused on improving the comfort level, durability and speed of the shoes.
Technologies
Find out below what the various technologies entail.
Energy rod
We recognize this technology from the previous generation of Cybersonic tennis shoes. This lightweight, yet sturdy construction that runs from the sole behind the heel, provides explosive propulsion when accelerating, due to the improved energy transfer through the reinforced frame. It also contributes to lateral stability. The light weight also gives the player an extra feeling of speed.
Dual-density Lightstrike midsole
The midsole of the adidas Adizero Cybersonic 2 has been developed to offer even better performance with regard to comfort and responsiveness, without adding extra weight to this new version. In collaboration with the Energy rod technology, the Dual-density Lightstrike midsole ensures an ideal combination of cushioning, light weight, responsiveness and speed, while retaining a feeling of stability.
Half-bootie upper
The upper of the new adidas Adizero Cybersonic 2 is produced on the basis of a so-called half-bootie construction. This means that about half of the upper, made of light and flexible mesh material, is designed to enclose the foot as a kind of supportive sleeve. With a comfortable, glove-like fit as a result. The remaining part of the upper contains firmer material, to make the shoe stable and durable in the most important places. In this way, the Cybersonic 2 can be used by tennis players of all levels to experience a top combination of comfort, durability, support and speed on the court.
Split lining with shark skin
Just like in the new Ubersonic 5, adidas has also incorporated the split lining with shark skin in the new Adizero Cybersonic 2. With this technology, the focus is mainly on the material of the inner lining and the shape of the heel of these tennis shoes. The combination of shark skin lining and the height and shape of the back of the Cybersonic 2 ensures that the midfoot and heel will slide as little as possible inside the shoe, even during intensive, directional movements. In addition, the material is relatively soft. This gives the user a comfortable and secure feeling while playing tennis.
Webbings
The addition of webbings at the lacing system ensures an extra snug fit around the midfoot. The reinforcement strips that are integrated into the shoe contribute to the lateral stability that is essential in high-quality tennis shoes. The webbings also allow the pressure of tightening the laces to be evenly distributed over the foot, so that they offer an extra locked-in feeling while maintaining comfort.
Engineered mesh
The mesh material used in the upper of the shoe has been carefully designed and produced to optimize the lightweight performance and breathability of the adidas Adizero Cybersonic 2.
Adiwear outsole and RPU Adituff toe have again been added to ensure durability in known and significant wear areas. The outsole also offers as much grip as possible, so that tennis players can slide in a controlled manner and quick reactions are facilitated.
Conclusion
Now that we have reviewed the updates and various technologies, we can conclude that adidas has combined characteristics such as speed, comfort, responsiveness, durability and a good fit all in one shoe.
