Cushion and Comfort A lightweight Nike Air unit at the bottom of the upper gives KD the cushioning and comfort he needs to thrive during a long season. Responsive full-length foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation. Groove and Move Grooves and ridges in the sole help provide multidirectional traction and courtfeel. A stiff piece under the arch helps keep the shoe stable and help you smoothly transition from heel to toe. Broken-In Feel Multilayer mesh in the upper is lightweight and dimensional with a broken-in feel. Added thickness in strategic areas helps to keep your foot in place by reducing small movements. Like Clockwork The outsole resembles watch gears, which represent the inner workings of KD and the methodical nature of how he operates.
