- Design Inspiration: Drawing from Irving's shield, the shoe represents his faith in family and the court, symbolizing the energy and support they provide for his victories.
- Heel Design: Features a faux fur-like material on the heel to align with the theme of strength.
- Animal-Inspired Aesthetic: The shoe's brutal, animalistic design is apt for the intensity of field combat.
- Cushioning: Equipped with double-layer nitroedge technology, offering a full palm nitrogen midsole and nitrogen insole for enhanced comfort and responsiveness.
- Torsion Resistance: Features a double-layer system with a carbon fiber anti-torsion sheet, hollowed-out TPU, a carbon plate for rigidity, and a TPU base with a TPU accelerator in the forefoot for stability and agility.
- Vamp Design: Incorporates dynamic line technology for a dynamic fit that adapts to the foot during directional changes.
- Outer Hemming: Uses a three-color, three-hardness TPU design for flexibility in the forefoot, support and torsion resistance in the midfoot, and stable adjustment in the heel.
- Sole: Maintains the durable cement nemesis outsole, with a protective toe cap for added safety.
This collaboration ANTA showcases a shoe that not only performs on the court but also carries a meaningful design narrative, making it a powerful choice for basketball players seeking both style and substance.
