⚡ Carbon Fiber Plate Support
Integrated carbon fiber plate enhances stability and foot support during high-intensity gameplay.

Perfect for explosive movements and hard landings.
🎯 GCU + TUFF RB Outsole
The groundbreaking GCU (Ground Control Unit) technology breaks the traditional trade-off between slip resistance and wear resistance. Combined with TUFF RB high-abrasion rubber compound, the multi-directional herringbone traction pattern delivers elite grip on indoor hardwood courts while maintaining exceptional durability. Tested to ISO 6000 friction standards—concrete tested with negligible wear.
Design & Construction
The White/Blue colorway features a clean, minimalist aesthetic that blends casual style with professional performance. The engineered mesh upper with Boom Fiber technology reduces overall weight while providing zero break-in time. Reinforced toe bumper minimizes abrasion and impact, protecting every step.
