Key Performance Technologies
✓ Nitroedge Nitrogen-Filled Foam Midsole
Featuring full-length nitrogen-infused foam that delivers 82-84% energy return, this revolutionary cushioning system provides exceptional responsiveness and court feel. The nitrogen technology offers superior rebound while maintaining lightweight properties and enhanced durability compared to traditional EVA foam.
✓ 3D Hug Stability System
The adaptive mesh upper conforms to your foot shape while providing targeted support for aggressive lateral movements. This stabilization system ensures a secure, glove-like fit crucial for quick cuts and crossovers.
✓ A-WEB Upper Material
Engineered with seamless multi-layered air mesh and synthetic leather overlays, the A-WEB technology balances breathability, durability, and support. The lightweight construction keeps you agile while maintaining structural integrity during intense play.
✓ Anti-Torque Plate & Carbon Fiber Shank
An integrated anti-torque plate prevents excessive foot twisting, while the carbon fiber shank provides torsional rigidity for stable landings and explosive takeoffs. This dual-stability system protects against injury during rapid direction changes.
✓ Grip System Outsole Technology
The durable rubber outsole features a specialized flat traction pattern engineered for superior grip on both indoor and outdoor courts. The pattern ensures consistent multidirectional coverage while resisting dust accumulation.
