Key Performance Technologies
Carbon Core Drive System: The revolutionary "sandwich" structure integrates a full-length carbon fiber plate between dual-layer BOOM midsole foam, delivering a 3.8% increase in vertical jump height and 12% faster continuous jumping rate compared to conventional designs. This system provides the perfect balance of flexibility, explosiveness, and speed for dynamic court movements.
Full-Length BOOM Cushioning: Li-Ning's premium supercritical foam technology offers exceptional energy return and impact protection. The responsive cushioning system reduces knee and ankle stress during high-impact landings while providing explosive propulsion for takeoffs.
GCU Ground Control Unit Outsole: Engineered for superior durability and traction, the GCU rubber compound delivers 4-5 times greater wear resistance than traditional translucent rubber. The hexagonal tread pattern ensures reliable grip on both indoor hardwood and outdoor courts, even on dusty surfaces.
Construction & Materials
The upper combines premium cow split leather with engineered mesh fabric, providing optimal breathability while maintaining structural rigidity for enhanced support. The mid-top design offers crucial ankle protection without restricting mobility. An EVA midsole frame works in conjunction with a special-shaped TPU heel wrap featuring Wade's career elements, delivering lightweight stability and multi-directional support during cuts and pivots.
