The "Cocoon" draws inspiration from the "silkworm cocoon," symbolizing Reeves' remarkable journey from being undrafted to becoming a core player on his team. The upper features a large area of white woven material combined with silver flywire design, mimicking the enveloping sensation of a cocoon and signifying the transformation from "breaking free from the cocoon" to becoming a butterfly. The bright silver TPU accents on the heel and tongue echo the moment of breaking free from the cocoon.
Breaking Free from the Cocoon: The design of this shoe is inspired by the concept of "breaking free from the cocoon," symbolizing Reeves' continuous growth and his ongoing efforts to break through his own limitations to become a better version of himself.
Fit is Paramount: With the core design philosophy of "what suits oneself is the best," the shoe not only meets the professional requirements for high-intensity competition on the court but also focuses on comfort and support.
Product Features
Midsole Technology: The midsole uses EVA as the framework and incorporates the "Whoosh ShowTime" technology in the forefoot, utilizing nylon physical foaming material with a rebound rate of over 80%, providing quicker feedback and response.
Support and Stability: Triangular EVA and TPU structures are added to the sidewalls of the shoe to enhance forefoot lockdown during lateral movements. A dual-hardness nylon and carbon fiber anti-torsion TPU plate is added to the midfoot to improve stability. The triangular EVA and TPU on both sides of the heel enhance stability upon landing.
Upper Design: The upper features extensive rope embroidery craftsmanship, creating a cocoon-like structure with the arrangement of flywires, which enhances the overall fit and strength of the shoe while maintaining breathability.
Tongue Innovation: The tongue features an innovative structural design, with a bladder-like device formed by TPU molding and filled with popcorn particles. This helps to cushion the impact on the top of the foot from external forces, even when the laces are tied very tightly, without causing discomfort.
Aesthetic Colorway: The "Cocoon" is primarily in white, complemented by fresh colors such as blue and green. The overall design is simple, elegant, and visually appealing.
