The G.T. Jump Academy Basketball Shoes help cushion landing. Two stacked midsole foams provide 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 landing once you’ve gone skyward. The durable rubber outsole wraps around the sides of the forefoot for added stability and durability. The textured upper is structured and stable, yet soft and breathable. These are athletic lace up high top sneakers.
