Midsole Architecture & Cushioning

• Full-Length Nitro Edge (N2) Foam: Features Anta's proprietary supercritical Nitrogen 80 cushioning core running heel to toe, providing a soft, plush landing zone with heavy heel compression while retaining crisp, bouncy court feedback under the ball of the foot.
• Fully Caged Sidewalls: The plush N2 midsole is structurally encased along the lateral sides by stiff, supportive plastic, preventing the foam from over-compressing under heavy lateral loads and keeping the foot stable during hard cuts.
• Springy Rocker Transition: A curved, rounded heel profile creates an incredibly smooth heel-to-toe stride, with a stiffer forefoot acting like a mechanical springboard to propel shooters quickly into their jump-shot mechanics.

Structural Upper & Ankle Protection

• Reinforced Engineered Weave: Combines an adaptive performance mesh with synthetic leather overlays and a robust rubber-plastic composite framework for zero-stretch lateral lockdown when planting the foot.
• Dual-Peak Ribbed Collar: An elevated, heavily padded high-top ankle collar fortified with vertical stabilizing ribs provides rigid, robust resistance against rolling — ideal for players who require maximum ankle security.
• 180° Hawk-Feather Heel Cage: The rear is wrapped in an angular, 3D TPU heel counter molded to resemble geometric hawk wings, locking the heel completely over the footbed and eliminating internal heel lift.

Outsole Layout & Hardwood Traction

• LTR Liquid Traction Rubber: An upgraded Liquid Rubber compound engineered to be 7% lighter and 55% more wear-resistant than traditional rubber.
• Classic Radial Herringbone: A dense, deeply grooved herringbone pattern with strategically placed flex grooves bites down aggressively on clean indoor hardwoods and stands up well to abrasive outdoor concrete.
• Stable Shooting Footprint: Built over a wide, flanged forefoot base (~113.6mm wide) that provides a stable, planted platform to assist shooters in squaring their hips perfectly on catch-and-shoot jumpers.

Sizing and Buying Advice

• Fit Profile: Fits true-to-size (TTS) with a friendlier forefoot width (~95.5mm on a US 9) compared to narrower signature silhouettes.
• Wide-Foot Accommodations: Welcomes standard and slightly wide feet comfortably out of the box. Players with extremely wide feet or high insteps may want to go up a half-size due to the heavily structured, non-stretch lateral composite overlay paneling.
