Whoops lol. The traction was really good actually. I don't remember sliding at all and feeling pretty confident staying in front of people. I know I sometimes slide in my 29s but I love everything else about them so I don't mind. I had no problem at all with traction in these. Lockdown was also really good as long as the laces were drawn of course. There were a few times where the laces came undone and the shoe wanted to fly off but the sock ankle kept them on lol. I didn't want to tie them too tight because I afraid the laces would dig in if I did but I didn't experience that really. I'd have to play in them more to see whats up.

I don’t know how both shoes look so similar, yet the casual version looks like trash and the X looks fire

^maybe it's the colors with the X having more contrast in the colors?

Negative, it is a lifestyle shoe.

Nah those are the Bristol Studio BYWs, same silo as the other lifestyle BYWs but with a few different leathers for the upper instead of textile/pk.

So much confusion in this thread about BYW vs. BYW X. Doesn't help adidas gave them essentially the same name.
I only care about the X but once I saw the $200 price tag my excitement was tempered.

totally agree, even the adidas i rep i talked to was confused.
what would even confuse you more, its not $200 its $180 but its not confirmed.
nightwing is legit, A+ review from him.

wait, so the X version is the basketball version and it's 180?

here is a screenshot i took when the 747 webpage was up. Some nt'ers said it was listed for $200 at one point, but than it was changed to $180 on the webpage. people who went to the 747 got them for $180. So idk, maybe this is real reason why for the world wide release was delayed, adidas hasn't probably come to agreement with retailers with the msrp. idk just assuming. but its disappointing they kept people like me who genuinely want a pair. Spring is here and summer is fast approaching, they need buckle up and release these asap.

Nightwing paid $200 for his during All Star at Hollywood Foot Locker. However, everything else, including the 747 email/press release I got, said $180.

My point exactly! Nobody even knows what the retail of the shoe is! Not to mention the lifestyle version everyone mistakes it for.
Anyway, I was going off of $200 since that’s what the original 747 page said but I guess they updated it to $180 and then still charged nightwing $200, smh.
I didn’t even know foot locker carried them during ASW.

I don't personally care about the BYW that much, but dang Adidas is lucky that the stuff they release actually performs well.
Imagine if they handled releases like this for shoes that were mediocre.

I'm sure john wal willl be back for the playoff and he will be wearing the adidas byw-x. Adidas might just capitalize on the nba playoff hype.
