⚡ Revolutionary Carbon Core Drive System

- 12% faster continuous vertical jump rate
Experience unparalleled energy return and explosive responsiveness with every cut, jump, and sprint.
🎯 GCU Ground Control Unit Traction
Dominate the court with confidence thanks to the GCU (Ground Control Unit) outsole. This innovative traction system provides:
- Superior grip on indoor courts with multidirectional pattern
- 32% enhanced slip resistance on dusty surfaces
- 4-5 times greater wear resistance compared to traditional translucent rubber
- Exceptional durability for extended performance
Note: While the traction excels on clean courts, the shallow tread depth performs best indoors and may require occasional wiping on dusty surfaces.
