New Balance has just unveiled the latest version of its franchise basketball shoe, the New Balance TWO WXY v5, designed to support players who make an impact from anywhere on the court. With cutting-edge technology and performance-enhancing features, this shoe is poised to revolutionize the game.
Building on the groundbreaking use of FuelCell and Fresh Foam technology first seen in the v4, the TWO WXY v5 adds a combination midsole with FuelCell for responsive energy return and Fresh Foam X at the heel and ball for impact protection. This strategic blend delivers responsive comfort and agility where you need it most, supporting quick lateral movements and high-impact takeoffs and landings.
The shoe’s high collar supports the heel for a locked-in feel, while zonal cushioning provides a plush feel around the toe box. The lightweight engineered mesh upper allows for breathability and flexibility for 360-degree comfort. Whether you’re creating space or defending the open floor, the TWO WXY v5 has you covered.
New Balance athletes Jamal Murray, Dejounte Murray, Aaron Nesmith and Darius Bazley will wear the New Balance TWO WXY v5 during the 2024 NBA season. The shoe will be released in two colorways, Bullseye and Ultra Pink, as well as additional team colors. The Bullseye colorway is an ode to Jamal Murray’s alter ego, the Blue Arrow, and features a red “X” under the laces to represent the bullseye. The Ultra Pink colorway twists bright colors inspired by cotton candy to remind players of the fun and nostalgic joy of basketball.
The New Balance TWO WXY v5 is now available through New Balance channels and partner retailers for $120.
