FINAL ANALYSIS:
With a soft upper and cushy insole, you won’t mind wearing the Rebound Ace Plus AG2 on and off the court. The tongueless design (it’s almost like slipping on a sock) gives the shoe wiggle room, which makes it comfortable. But that feature, along with a questionable fl ex point—the shoe bends around the arch instead of the ball of the foot, the natural fl ex point—causes concern about long-term stability. But weartesters scores were still high in that category. That could be due to the threadlike frame in the outsole (called Axeler Technology) that’s meant to prevent the midfoot from twisting too much.
