How is the Bounce cushioning in the Lillard 2's compared to Boost? Sole brothers say it's firmer than Boost but bouncier?

they had a pair of this in 9.5 at the Adidas outlet in Camarillo CA
price was $95
I considered getting it but then noticed that the boost is only on the heel and remembered how bad the forefoot on the crazylights were

If boost is only in the heel, what is used throughout the rest of the sole?

adiprene+ and eva like the CrazyLight Boosts I think
it looks like they literally removed the midsole of the Crazylight Boosts and put them on the Lillard 2s, traction and all (one of the other big complaints about in the CL Boost, traction and durability iirc)

It's exactly the same the CL boost setup

So wouldn't recommend it? Stick with the Bounce or the Boost?

Most of the pages of this thread have debated this. But full length BOUNCE is awesome. the CL boost set up has absolutely no forefoot cushion.

Full length bounce > adiprene/boost

Exactly and it comes down to preference. IMO, if you're looking for court feel, they both give you that. Bounce probably isn't gonna take years off your knees like I imagine the cl boost will over time.

No, these are for casual wear.
I don't have access to an indoor court, these would get destroyed outdoors.
And as a Warriors fan, these aren't coming out the box again until this series is over.
Can't believe it took me this long to get a pair of Lillards. I'm in for the green primeknits and a miadidas pair.

Why couldn't they just pair boost with bounce? I really want the playoff colorway for ball, but looks like I'll be getting the Aways.

Time will tell if they do this. The Lillard 2 was the first full length Bounce shoe, right? Pretty new tech.

I could have sworn Adidas uses to call their other midsoles "bounce", the one that looks like tube set horizontally and works like springs?
But I think these new "bounce" material is just a new rubber compound of sorts?
Not really sure if the two are/were related.

Are you talking about the springblades? Bounce is just a mixture of a higher content of rubber with eva.

They can. I think they just had a ridiculous amount of the Crazylight Boost 2015 midsoles/outsoles and didn't want to scrap the materials. So they added it to the Lillard 2 upper and called it the 2.5 or playoff edition.

Ok know what you mean, these were also called bounce. Remember seeing KG, Duncan, and Howard rocking shoes with this type of bounce years ago.ok, I stopped being lazy and googled it for picbut these ones:

First time seeing Lillard play in person. He was ballin' in the first half , not so much in the 2nd. He doesn't seem so quick in person. Great shooter though.

"Stay Ready" colorway looks really nice on feet.
Finally had a chance to try on the Lillard 1. Very comfy sneaker. Went half size down. No heel slippage for me. Very spongy feeling sneaker.

Scooped the Lillard 1's for $59.99 at footlocker. Really nice shoes material and performance wise.
Doesn't seem they are offering that price online so I suggest walking in and checking out the actual store.

Shoe Palace had this colorway for $49.99. When I finally decided to try on a pair, they only had size 8-9 left.
I find the shoe aesthetically unappealing, but the NYC Allstar version makes it tolerable.
