Design Features
Upper and Support Structure: The shoe features breathable butterfly-wing mesh fabric, which ensures good ventilation while also providing comfort for the feet during intense gameplay. The inner side of the shoe is sewn with the letters "HBK," and the heel is adorned with a target symbol. The insole is printed with a backyard basketball scene pattern.
Midsole Technology: It is equipped with the upgraded version of Showtime Foam Tech, which uses lightweight EVA foam to provide immediate energy feedback and a low center of gravity for a close-to-the-ground feel, meeting the needs of quick breakthroughs.
Exclusive Detail Design: The anti-slip outsole pattern is designed to adapt to multi-directional stops and turns, performing exceptionally well on dusty courts. The personalized lacing system continues the "bubble structure" design from the AR1, alleviating the pressure of the shoelaces on the top of the foot.
