These Nike Ja 2 "Foundation" basketball sneakers are designed with a lighter design. They feature Air Zoom cushioning, which provides increased responsiveness and vertical acceleration. The shoes have a multidirectional traction pattern, which pays homage to the oversized tractor tires Ja still trains on. Lightweight mesh offers comfort and breathability in the upper while engineered mesh on the big-toe of the side of the shoe gives you even more breathability. Extra ankle padding gives you comfort when landing and taking off. A raised foam collar adds extra coziness around your Achilles heel.
