Cushioning feel

Cushlon foam combined with a responsive insole makes the feet feel incredibly soft, while the forefoot Zoom provides localized cushioning. The overall cushioning transitions naturally from back to front, keeping your feet comfortable even after a full game.

Court feel

The Zoom Air unit has been moved from the heel to the forefoot, providing a stronger ground feel during startup. The low-profile design makes the first step responsive and decisive.

Bounce

The forefoot Air Zoom provides a noticeable turbo boost feel, and the insole offers a soft, bouncy feel underfoot, making acceleration after a sudden stop very powerful.

Stability

The midfoot webbing system locks the instep firmly, providing excellent stability for lateral cuts and Book-style sudden stops and turns, with no slippage.

Traction

Modern herringbone patterns provide a strong grip on wood flooring, resulting in crisp and clean changes of direction and sudden stops. They also appear to be quite durable, as solid as AF1 outsoles.

Fit

The lightweight synthetic upper is almost imperceptible, but the midfoot webbing and overall shoe shape keep the foot firmly in place, with no heel slippage, providing a comfortable and pressure-free fit.
