The PEAK TAICHI Qingling 3.0 Men's Basketball Shoes are designed with a focus on lightweight and flexibility, weighing only about 295-320 grams per shoe (for sizes 41-42). They feature a MONO mesh breathable upper and an upgraded PEAK-TAICHI technology midsole, making them suitable for lightweight and medium-weight (under 140 pounds) guards who excel in quick breaks.
Design and Appearance of PEAK TAICHI Qingling 3.0 Men's Basketball Shoes
Upper Design: The upper is made of a one-piece mesh fabric, combined with large-area thermoplastic reinforcement materials. It has good breathability, effectively enhancing the shoe's ventilation, making it suitable for summer wear.
Shoe Body Design: There are 7 sets of diagonal eyelets that help reduce the pressure on the top of the foot, providing a more comfortable wearing experience. The "octopus" locking structure on the shoe body focuses on targeted wrapping of the palm circumference, back circumference, and heel circumference.
Sole Design: The midsole structure effectively guides the direction of the shoe's force deformation. The forefoot lift design provides an excellent rolling sensation, suitable for lightweight and agile players. The outsole uses wear-resistant rubber with multi-directional tread patterns, maintaining stable grip on both wooden and concrete floors.
Performance
Cushioning: The forefoot features PEAK-TAICHI technology, offering a good soft and elastic feel, with no sense of power loss during take-off. The rearfoot only uses light elastic foam for cushioning, with a thickness of less than two centimeters, resulting in weaker cushioning performance, especially unsuitable for players over 150 pounds.
Fit and Support: The octopus binding system provides an excellent midfoot locking sensation. The upper and lining materials are comfortable and do not pinch the feet. However, the shoe lasts have poor versatility, making it difficult for people with high insteps to wear, and there is a sense of compression in the midfoot.
Traction: The traction performance is excellent. The full-palm tread pattern inherits the characteristics of this series and adds intersecting rolling grooves, unlocking the flexibility of the forefoot, allowing for more varied and seamless movements.
Breathability: The upper has excellent breathability, keeping the feet dry even during intense games.
