The Peak Malik Monk Taichi General – Original Intention is a high-performance basketball shoe featuring a large-triangle design, carbon-plate support, and a Taichi + P-SOON tech midsole for lightweight, responsive cushioning. Its GCU anti-slip outsole boosts on-court traction, while the red-and-white colorway with an electroplated-red TPU heel delivers standout style.
Peak Malik Monk Taichi General – “Original Intention”
Color & Style Dressed in classic red-and-white, the heel TPU is vacuum-plated for a liquid-metal shine that breaks basketball’s usual monochrome mold. Retro, blood-pump reds meet high-gloss modern materials, so the shoe turns heads whether you’re crossing over on court or cruising the street. An oversized triangle logo is sculpted into the quarter panel, adding depth and instant brand DNA; the angular paneling pairs as easily with track pants as with denim.
Core Tech & Performance Midsole
Dual-tech core: PEAK “Taichi” adaptive foam + P-SOON high-rebound polymer. Taichi softens impact on landing, P-SOON snaps back on take-off, giving wings the “soft-not-sloppy, springy-not-spent” feel they need for hard cuts and sprint close-outs.
Embedded carbon plate: boosts torsional rigidity, keeping the base flat and stable during violent stops or lateral jabs, cutting roll-over risk.
Outsole
GCU grip rubber: micro-tuned tread pattern bites hardwood, PU, or blacktop alike. Stop-and-go traction stays consistent, and the compound survives outdoor grind sessions.
Upper & Fit
Ventilated mono-mesh + heat-welded overlays: keeps airflow high and heat low, while weld-ons add lockdown without extra weight.
Plush ankle collar + external heel counter: delivers a secure, almost “velcro” fit; expect a snug entry that loosens slightly once the foot is seated.
