Design history
Inspired by the model in the adult range: the FAST 900 LOW-1.
This children's version features a very similar look , while being designed to preserve the needs of a growing body: in terms of the geometry of the sole and the materials chosen.
Children will also be delighted to wear shoes bearing the effigy of their favorite NBA team.
How to choose your basketball shoes?
To choose the right BASKET shoes, you need to:
1- Determine the child's level and frequency of play
2- Does the child know how to tie his shoes independently?
3- Choose the correct upper height: ankle covered or not?
Which size to choose?
We recommend that you try on the shoe before your child's first training session, and that you use the child's usual size for basketball.
There should be around 1 cm between the toe and the tip of the shoe, as the volume and length of the foot will tend to increase during exercise.
Finally, opt for a sock designed for basketball, to limit friction in the areas of greatest stress.
What type of terrain is this shoe designed for?
"All of them! Our shoes are tested and validated on different indoor surfaces, as well as on different outdoor floors.
We test both grip at different dust levels (in the laboratory and in real-life conditions), but also resistance over time, particularly with floor abrasion."
