Advanced Technology Breakdown
EXTREME + P-SOON Midsole System
The revolutionary dual-layer midsole combines PEAK's Taichi adaptive foam—softening impact on landing—with P-SOON micro-foamed TPU material that snaps back on takeoff. This synergy delivers 25% lighter weight than traditional EVA while providing 30% more energy return for explosive jumps and quick direction changes.
Carbon Plate Integration
A full-length carbon fiber plate is embedded between the midsole layers, creating a springboard effect that propels you forward. This technology reduces foot fatigue, prevents rollover injuries, and maintains a flat, stable base during violent stops.
GCU Ground Control Unit Outsole
The GCU rubber compound features a specialized molecular structure that breaks the traditional trade-off between wear resistance and slip resistance. The micro-herringbone tread pattern bites the court surface for reliable grip during wet or dry conditions, making it ideal for both indoor and outdoor play.
Design & Construction
Upper: The Irish Green edition features a premium synthetic leather base with mono-mesh ventilation zones and heat-welded TPU overlays for targeted support. The electroplated TPU heel counter provides a liquid-metal shine that shifts between emerald and forest green under different lighting.
Fit System: Plush ankle collar with external heel counter delivers a secure, "velcro-like" fit. The 180-degree support system connects the upper directly to the outsole, increasing lateral stability without adding bulk.
Comfort Details: Anti-bacterial SILVER-Plus lining prevents odor buildup, while the sock-like woven tongue ensures easy on/off and zero pressure points.
Performance Benefits
- Shock Absorption: Taichi foam reduces impact forces by up to 50% compared to standard midsoles
- Energy Return: P-SOON technology provides 70% rebound efficiency for sustained performance
- Anti-Slip Rating: GCU outsole maintains 0.7+ friction coefficient on dusty courts
- Wear Resistance: Outsole compound tested for 300+ miles of outdoor durability
