Core Performance Technologies
Dual-Stack Midsole System
- TAICHI Adaptive Foam: Smart polymer material that softens on impact for plush landings and adapts to movement intensity
- P-SOON High-Rebound Polymer: Delivers explosive energy return on takeoffs with 65% rebound rate (lab-tested)
- Combined Benefit: "Soft-not-sloppy, springy-not-spent" feel ideal for hard cuts and sprint close-outs
Stability & Support
- Embedded Carbon Fiber Plate: Full-length composite plate boosts torsional rigidity, keeping the base flat during violent stops and lateral jabs
- External Heel Counter: Provides secure, "velcro-like" fit with enhanced lockdown
- TPU Midfoot Cage: Oversized triangular structure extends from toe cap to midfoot for lateral support
Traction & Durability
- GCU Anti-Slip Outsole: Glide Control Unit rubber with micro-tuned tread pattern bites hardwood, PU, or blacktop courts
- Outdoor-Ready: Compound formulated to withstand outdoor grind sessions without compromising grip
- Multi-Directional Pattern: Supports fast rotational movements and stop-and-go traction
Upper Construction
- Ventilated Mono-Mesh: One-piece breathable fabric keeps airflow high and heat low during intense play
- Heat-Welded Overlays: Strategic weld-ons add lockdown support without extra weight
- Plush Ankle Collar: Low-cut design with padded collar offers flexibility and comfort
Performance Characteristics
- Ultra-Lightweight: Approximately 409g (US Size 10) — exceptionally light for a carbon-plated model
- Position-Specific: Engineered for shifty, fast-paced guards requiring quick first steps and confident direction changes
- True Fit: Snug entry that loosens slightly once foot is seated; runs true to size for most foot shapes
- Seasonal Versatility: Suitable for spring, summer, autumn, and winter play
