OWN THE VERTICAL. Feel like defying gravity? Meet one of Nike Basketball’s most responsive cushioning systems ever devised for game shoes. The double-stacked Zoom Air works in unison with an external jump frame made from PEBAX that's lightweight, springy and strong. The woven exoskeleton-like upper helps you feel fully connected, so you can move with confidence and power and defeat the force that holds you down. Elevated Cushioning System This cushioning system is through the roof! The full-length, Air Zoom Strobel unit (right up under your foot) is double-stacked with Zoom Air in the heel and forefoot. Add to that an external jump frame that is super-lightweight and springy, and you've got yourself 1 gravity-busting sensation. Exceptionally Light and Strong The leno-weave upper uses a grid of twisted strands of composite fibers, making it extra strong but incredibly light. Together with the sculpted, slightly lowered midsole and jump plate, it's designed to help you feel stable and fully connected to your power. Lightweight Herringbone Traction The thin-web rubber outsole uses a zigzag herringbone pattern that is tried-and-true on the basketball court. A cutout under the arch and perforations throughout help reduce weight and keep it flexible. Greater Than Series: Creating the Next Era of Basketball The future of basketball is positionless, faster and more efficient. Players have to cut quicker, run faster and jump higher than ever to create the separation they'll need to compete at a high level. By precisely engineering the fit, ride and traction, Nike Basketball's Greater Than Series aims to deliver measurable benefits to athletes who use their quickness, speed or vertical ability to gain an edge and go beyond what's thought possible.
