Separate the players from the playmakers in a model that's built on creating separation but supportive enough to help you play all day. Enhance Your 1st Step Nike React technology paired with parabolic Air Zoom Strobel cushioning stacked with a Zoom Air unit in the heel helps provide the responsiveness you need to create space and opportunity off the dribble. The React insole provides support and comfort. A soft foam midsole offers comfort and a stable underfoot experience.
