Cédric, Product Manager, explains the Technology used in the SE900 sole.
The SE900 basketball shoe is the most technical of the entire TARMAK range.
The sole of our shoe incorporates a concept that incorporates a lightweight yet rigid anatomical plate made of TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), a polymer with superior performance, situated between 2 layers of hyper-reactive EVA foam with very distinct properties: a stiffer upper layer and a softer lower layer.
The combination of the 2 provides you with cushioning, stability and comfort.
The "plus" of our SE900 :
Cédric (product manager), Terry (product engineer) and Max (designer) develop your shoes in close collaboration with a network of practitioners, coaches and you!
We choose the components, create prototypes, test and validate the products in the laboratory and in practice.
In addition to its unique sole, which provides recovery, cushioning and stability, the new SE900 guarantees optimum foot support thanks to its "WEBLOCK" midfoot strap system.
How to choose your BASKET shoes?
To choose the right BASKET shoe, you first need to:
- determine your level and frequency of play,
- then determine your playing style (moving or stationary),
- finally, choose the correct upper height to support your ankle (high, mid or low upper).
How to choose your shoe size?
To guarantee optimum comfort for your foot in your shoe, don't hesitate to choose a size larger than the one you usually choose for your everyday shoes.
There should be 1cm between your toe and the tip of the shoe, as your foot tends to "swell" during exercise, and opt for a sock designed for basketball, which limits the appearance of blisters thanks to specific components on the most stressed friction zones.
