The bottom of the shoe is curved from heel to toe for smooth strides. Cutouts in the foam help reduce weight and provide optimal responsiveness (because there is more space for the foam to compress and expand). The outsole rubber is partially split by grooves and wraps up the inner side near the front. This allows the rubber to flex and maintain traction when making side-to-side Euro step moves. The upper uses an engineered mesh that's lightweight and breathable. An internal strap wraps over the midfoot to help keep you stable when moving from side to side. The heel part of the upper looks and feels plush. It creates a secure and comfortable harness for the back of your foot to help you feel fresh during games. The shape of the sole in the heel is designed for optimal cushioning every time your heel strikes the court. The names of his mom, dad, brothers and son Liam are on the outsole.
