Key Performance Technologies

· Boom Carbon Integrated System: A groundbreaking fusion of full-length Boom foam (supercritical ETPU) and a full-palm carbon fiber plate. This "Carbon Core" design provides explosive energy return and high rebound for vertical performance.

· GCU (Ground Control Unit) Outsole: Replaces traditional rubber with a lighter polyurethane compound that offers phenomenal, "stop-on-a-dime" traction even on dusty courts.

· Boom Fiber Upper: Constructed from high-strength TPU filament yarn that is 3x more durable than traditional weaves while remaining extremely breathable and lightweight.

· Atomic Lattice Insole: A specialized Boom technology insole with a "sticky" texture to prevent foot slippage inside the shoe during aggressive cuts.
