Materials & Technology

Purposeful materials.
Elite performance.

Six layers. Each one chosen for a specific function. Nothing decorative, nothing redundant — every material earns its place in the build.

Adaptive Knit Upper01

Adaptive Knit Upper

A single-piece engineered knit that contours to your foot on contact. No seams, no pressure points — just a structure that responds to your movement.

Lockdown Lace System02

Lockdown Lace System

Dynamic cable eyelets distribute lacing tension evenly across the midfoot, eliminating micro-slip without over-compression. Lace once, move without limits.

Breathable Inner Sock03

Breathable Inner Sock

Moisture-wicking seamless liner bonded directly to the upper. Maintains a consistent internal climate from tip-off to final buzzer — no bunching, no friction.

Impact Foam Midsole04

Impact Foam Midsole

Proprietary open-cell foam compound absorbs 94% of peak impact force on landing and returns 42% of that energy as forward propulsion within 80 milliseconds.

Carbon Stability Plate05

Carbon Stability Plate

A full-length carbon fibre plate embedded in the midsole provides torsional rigidity during lateral cuts while preserving forefoot flexibility for natural toe-off.

Grip-Control Outsole06

Grip-Control Outsole

Multi-directional herringbone traction compound across 11 independent flex zones. Rated 9.6 out of 10 in a 40-player blind traction test on competition hardwood.
