Key Features and Technology

· Propulsion System: A Carbon Core Drive System (carbon fiber plate) is embedded in a "sandwich structure" within the midsole to enhance energy return and stability, significantly improving performance in jumping height and speed.
· Stability: An external EVA frame and a specially contoured TPU heel shell provide lightweight stability and support during quick, multi-directional movements.
· Traction: The GCU (Ground Control System) outsole, made of a specially formulated molecular rubber, offers exceptional wear resistance and grip on various court surfaces, especially dusty ones.
