The Ja 2 basketball shoe is designed with a lighter construction and features Air Zoom cushioning for increased responsiveness and vertical acceleration. Material in the arch has been removed to reduce the overall weight of the shoe. The midsole is crafted to mold to the foot for better containment and support during quick movements. The multidirectional traction pattern pays homage to tractor tires. The lightweight mesh upper offers comfort and breathability, with engineered mesh on the big toe for enhanced ventilation. The sneakers feature extra ankle padding for comfort and a raised foam collar for added coziness around the Achilles heel. These sneakers are athletic and lace up.
