Real and synthetic leather gives support and durability. Soft textile helps the shoe feel lightweight and flexible. Elastic laces help the shoe open wide so little feet can easily slip in. Secure their fit with a big hook-and-loop strap that fastens onto a basketball graphic. A rubber piece on the heel provides some grip to easily kick the shoes off. Full-length rubber sole provides durable traction from the indoor court to the playground. Plush foam underfoot provides softer cushioning than the previous edition. Foam on the collar and tongue gives support around the ankle. Extra skin layer around the toe area provides durability for those who drag their toes.
