Design history
This shoe was designed with the participation of French international Isaia Cordinier.
It's very important for us, as it's our first low-cut shoe with a clear performance orientation.
Our aim was to ensure that the foot doesn't move at all in the shoe, even during the most powerful lateral presses, and therefore to ensure the transmission of power between the foot and the ground, in order to be as fast as possible on the field.
How to choose your basketball shoes?
To correctly choose your BASKET shoes, you must:
1- Determine your level and frequency of play.
2- Identify your main expectations related to your style of play: reactivity and speed of movement or strong shock absorption for powerful support
3- Correctly choose the height of the upper: ankle covered or not?
Which size to choose?
We recommend that you try on the shoe before your first training session, and take your usual size for basketball.
Don't hesitate to go up a size if you feel you're just right.
There should be around 1 cm between your toe and the tip of the shoe, as the volume and length of your foot will tend to increase during exercise.
Finally, opt for a sock designed for basketball, to limit friction in the areas that are most stressed.
What type of terrain is this shoe designed for?
All of them! Our shoes are tested and validated on a wide range of indoor and outdoor surfaces.
We test adherence to different levels of dust (in the laboratory and in real-life conditions), as well as resistance over time, particularly to abrasion.
