This shoe provides a tight custom fit, enhanced responsiveness in the forefoot and traction up the sides, allowing players to accelerate and decelerate on demand and take advantage of the separation they create. Responsive Traction Data-informed traction, put together after studying hundreds of athletes, helps keep you in control under duress. It's a computer-generated traction pattern made to help you grip the court in multiple directions. The rubber wraps up the toe and sides to help you stay in control when banking hard on your edges. Court-Ready Cushioning An updated 3-layer cushioning system has a responsive Air Zoom Strobel in the forefoot sandwiched between a molded insole and foam midsole. Less foam and fewer layers improve court feel and unlock the Air Zoom's energy-returning potential. Secure Fit Internal bands poke through the upper, and the laces feed through them. Tightening the laces pulls down on the bands to create a super-snug, comfortable and connected fit.
