The G.T. Jump Academy basketball shoes are designed with two stacked midsole foams for a cushioned landing after takeoff. The tall height and shape of the collar give extra coverage and support when jumping high and often. The carved heel helps cushion landings. A durable rubber outsole wraps around the sides of the forefoot for added stability and durability. The textured upper is structured, stable, soft, and breathable. These are athletic and lace up sneakers by Nike.
