Visible Cushioning Max Air cushioning helps to dissipate the hard forces of impact and give you a bouncy, responsive sensation. It runs the shoe's full length and is shaped to follow where your foot hits the court. Reinforced Materials Breathable mesh provides a lightweight, conforming fit. Reinforced stitching along the sides helps the shoe fit snugly. Aggressive Traction The durable rubber outsole has a classic herringbone traction pattern front to back. The rubber is split and partially cut out under the arch to help reduce weight and let it flex. Molded foam midsole is lightweight, resilient and helps smooth the transition from heel to toe. External TPU pieces along the heel provide side-to-side stability and help harness and direct your force.
