DESIGN HISTORY
This shoe was designed with the participation of the French international Isaïa Cordinier.
This shoe holds a special place in our hearts as our first low-top shoe designed specifically for performance.
Our aim was to ensure that the foot did not move at all in the shoe, even during the most powerful lateral thrusts, and therefore to ensure the transmission of power between the foot and the ground, in order to be as fast as possible on the court.
Choosing your basketball shoes
When shopping for basketball shoes, you need to:
1- establish your level and how often you play
2- identify your main expectations based on your style of play: responsiveness and speed of movement or high shock absorption for powerful support
3- choose the right upper height: covered ankle or not?
What size to choose?
We recommend that you try the shoes before your first training session and go for your usual size for basketball.
If it feels a little tight, go one size up.
There should be about 1 cm between your toe and the end of the shoe because your foot will tend to swell slightly as you exercise.
Finally, make sure that your child wears basketball-specific socks that reduce friction in the areas that are most likely to get rubbed.
What type of terrain are these shoes for?
All of them! Our shoes are tested and approved on different indoor surfaces, as well as different types of outdoor ground.
We test grip at different levels of dust (in the laboratory and in real-life conditions), as well as resistance over time, particularly with abrasion from the floor.
