Nitrogen-infused foam with TPU caging. Snappy, springy ride with great court feel but reduced impact protection.
8.5
Materials
Engineered breathable mesh with thin synthetic overlays. Very lightweight and airy. Feels thin to some but comfortable out of the box.

Support
Exaggerated plastic sidepieces with secure upper and heel lockdown. Strong lateral containment and stability for quick directional changes.
