Regarding fit; if you go by CM size, they are true to size (length). I've come to largely disregard US/Euro sizing as CM is the only one that actually uses actual foot size; the rest are all manufacturer's interpretation of conversion to equivalent sizes. Measure foot in CM and add 1.0 to 1.5 cm for toe space. Last five pair of shoes I purchased were US 11.5, 12.5, 12.5, 12 and 12 with disparate EU sizes, but all were 29.5 to 30.0 CM. Icon 2 was medium heel, narrow mid and forefoot, and medium to narrow toe box, so guessing not the best for wide feet. Work okay for my narrow foot coming from several Asics 12.5 which also tend to run narrow, but wish there was more toebox width and hoping they loosen a bit over time..

I’ve been playing tennis for over 30 years and teaching it close to 8 and my feet have never been happier since I discovered Diadora. I own the Icon 1 the Tourneo and the Blushield running shoes. I love them all and I will definitely check these out.

Couple of things. Diadora changed the sizing going from version 1 to version 2 for the US sizing (and for the US sizing only). The equivalent of a ver 1 10.5 is a ver 2 11.0 now. This was a good move by Diadora to make B.Icon more true to size (a lot of folks had to go half a size down with the original B.Icon). Diadora has also made changes to the shoe making it less comfortable, most notably the uppers especially in the forefoot are more rigid now and you wont' get the same running shoe feeling the original version had. My toes and forefoot feel numb and slightly in pain just wearing the ver 2 around the house. The weight has also increased by about 40 grams. None of these is mentioned in this review.

Great review on a great shoe! One of my three favorite shoes out there for all-court players with the Mizuno Enforce and the Babolat Jet Mach 3. Sounds like Diadora made the B.Icon even better.

They all three seem to have the best blend of comfort, ventilation, quickness, and STABILITY (a real priority for me and my very flat feet).

Good review as always. I tried Diadora b icon ag (first time trying this brand and got on sale luckily) and wasn’t that impressed. Durability of outsole is good but I can’t feel anything when moving as if it’s too cushioned. No ground feel whatsoever. Support decent but man those things get hot! Wouldn’t go back and was not that impressed..

Usually a maximalist dude but these appeal to me! I'll prob pick these up or get the 1s on the cheao and then upgrade to these!

Longtime B Icon 1 wearer. You have to go up 1/2 size in the 2's. The new 2s sizing changed and you have to go 1/2 size up. But even with the 1/2 size up, I got massive blisters on outside of little toes and inside of big toes. The toe box must have narrowed. I've worn and loved 3-4 pairs of the Icon 1s without this issue.

Former longtime Barricade wearer (13.5) and been wearing the Icon 1's in 14. Felt like the cushioning in the Icons were much more plush than the Barricades but that could have just been new shoe bias. They didn't have 13.5 when I bought the Icon 1's so curious how if 13.5 in the Icon 2's will fit better or if I'll have to continue with 14. Got a 14 and 13.5 coming soon to try on.

I'd like to know how firm the sole and upper of this B.Icon 2 are, respectively. Yes, you read it right and I type it right. I don't want something like New Balance Foam X (owner of Lav 2) sole which is super comfortable and very good if used for running. However, for tennis, the Foam X actually substantially hinders the effectiveness of quick turn. I prefer something like Coco Gauff signature CG1 much more (also owner of CG1). Firm sole but still blend with some kind of cushioning. Also the Lav 2 upper, particularly the lateral portion, is kind of too soft for me. It makes my feet muscle constantly in tension trying to "grab" the shoes during the game and make my feet feel sore and tired just after about 30~40 min. of playing. I prefer something more armor-feel upper like Court FF 2 (yup, again, owner of Court FF 2) or the really old day Adidas Barricades.
