The outsole features a solid, modified version of the herringbone pattern, which provides great traction on the hardwood, as well as new flex groove details for added flexibility. The bright red colorway definitely helps add to draw more attention to the shoe. They consist of other features including a leather upper with easy lace system, and Jumpman on heel and midfoot. Other features include a full length zoom air bag, as well as a 3/4 length carbon fibre shank for added support. The thicker midole, especially at the back on f the shoe, is very heavy, but also provides plenty of cushioning.
