How high do you want to fly? Get off the ground quicker in a design that helps you hover and hold your own in the air when the action goes vertical. If you’re a shooter trying to add lift to your jumper, a skyscraper hoping to float among the stars, or a ground bound beast trying to beat your opponent to that rebound off the rim, this shoe can add an element of explosiveness to your game. The bounce is unlike anything you’ve felt before, and the landing is cushioned, helping you spring back skyward once you hit the ground. With its extra-durable rubber outsole, this version gives you traction for outdoor courts. Ready for Takeoff Three doses of Zoom Air (bottom layer of the upper and 2 forefoot units) give you more bounce off the floor. It combines with the jump plate, wrapped with rubber for added support and durability, for an extra spring. Land Softly Nike React foam in the heel offers cushioning and comfort when landing suddenly and powerfully. The molded heel has an engineered curve for energy absorption and support. Iconic heel and collar design provide lightweight containment and manage micro-movements of the foot. Lightweight Design The exoskeleton look and feel uses negative space to make the shoe lightweight. Pick Your Direction The herringbone traction uses data-informed design to create grip on the court. Linear and lateral lines provide multidirectional grip that helps reduces slipping and sliding. Lacing directly through the medial and lateral webbing loops adds forefoot support. Engineered mesh provides lightweight, breathable comfort and containment.
