The TPU module on the front of the shoe features bold red accents, which contrast sharply with the teal color, enhancing visual impact. Additionally, small amounts of black elements are incorporated into areas such as the shoelaces and the Anta brand logo on the front of the shoe, enriching the overall color hierarchy.
Technology Configuration
Upper Material: The upper is made of a composite mesh and leather material. This material is not only breathable and comfortable but also effectively enhances the support of the shoe. During quick starts and sudden stops, the upper can firmly wrap around the feet, preventing any instability or risk of rolling over.
Dynamic Lace Eyelet Design: Equipped with a hard lace lock, the dynamic lace eyelets significantly enhance the shoe's fit. This ensures that the shoe stays securely in place during movement, allowing players to accelerate with confidence.
Midsole Technology: The full-length nitrogen-infused midsole, with nitrogen material in both the forefoot and rearfoot, provides an extreme cushioning effect. Each jump feels powerful, and the energy return is excellent, quickly "charging" for the next move.
Support Structure: The TPU support structures on the inner and outer sides, combined with the rearfoot logo-shaped TPU, form a 270-degree support and anti-torsion system. This fundamentally addresses the safety hazards associated with twisting injuries during sports. The addition of a midfoot carbon fiber plate further enhances the shoe's stability and anti-torsion capabilities.
Outsole Pattern: The outsole features a combination of wave patterns and herringbone textures. Whether during quick directional changes or sudden stops and starts, it ensures excellent slip resistance, allowing players to change their pace freely.
Performance in Play
Fit: After tightening the laces, the upper fits snugly around the foot. The rearfoot locking and support, as well as the protection provided by the shoe collar, are very effective. This makes it particularly suitable for players with ankle injuries. However, the tight fit can feel a bit rigid and not naturally conforming, requiring some time to break in.
Cushioning: The overall softness and elasticity are quite good. The forefoot landing feels the rebound of the pure material, with an ideal thickness and noticeable nitrogen technology effect. For players with a heavier build, the rearfoot feels softer. The opening in the rearfoot TPU does not affect the feel, preventing any jarring sensation.
Traction: The full-length pattern design, combined with a special rubber formula, ensures stable stops and starts on wooden floors without any slipping. The turning is flexible and adaptable to various angles, helping players to quickly start, stop, and change direction on the court. However, in terms of indoor traction, the full-length pattern lacks specific design variations and is relatively soft, raising concerns about durability. Even without dust, the pattern may not grip the surface effectively.
Anti-rolling: The forefoot has a balanced center of gravity, with reinforced edges on the midsole and a support angle underneath to prevent rolling. The upper is strong enough to hold the foot securely, reducing the risk of rolling over.
Shoe-Foot Integration: The forefoot's natural flex point is relatively stiff, and there is almost no noticeable natural flexing. The midsole's support system creates a rigid feel, although the material below has a good rebound effect. However, prolonged running may cause foot fatigue, making the shoe feel heavy and sluggish.
Breathability: The breathability is at a normal level. The mesh treatment at the toe area increases ventilation, and the sweating of the feet after playing is within an acceptable range.
