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. Feel Connected Dynamic 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. Unlock Your Energy An updated 3-layer cushioning system uses an Air Zoom unit in the forefoot sandwiched between a molded insole and soft foam. Less foam and fewer layers improve court feel and unlock the Zoom's energy-returning potential. Cut with Control Edgy, multidirectional tread is designed around how you cut and jab on the court, providing traction precisely where it's needed. The grippy rubber wraps up the sides, especially on the inside heel and toe, so you stay in control when banking and changing directions.
