Thick cushion that gets you pretty high off the ground. Sufficient ankle padding and thick tongue that gives a plush impression. The midsole gives a comfortable first impression especially at the heel. But it goes downhill when you start using it for its intended use e.g. tennis and padel. Forefoot cushioning feels non-existent. Minimal padding at the forefoot area means your toe is always crushed against the shoe wall, and also means a ton of forefoot empty space that causes your feet to slide around. This also means there’s some heel slippage when you sprint aggressively around the court. Disappointing shoe considering it’s positioned as the top end or one of the top tennis shoes.

Down Under
This special design takes you Down Under, where the best of the best compete after an off-season of perfecting their craft. The more you wear this shoe, a different colour appears on the outsole.
Zoom, zoom
A forefoot Air Zoom unit helps you play on your toes and puts a pop in your first step. A heel Air Zoom unit provides support.
Stay in motion
A strong midfoot plastic plate adds stability for quick cuts and power to your game when transferring energy from motion to motion. Webbing around the eyestays combined with the plate offer a sort of "hugged" containment when moving side to side. The heel has extra padding to help keep you comfortable and supported.
Durable traction
Extra rubber in the toe area, specifically the big-toe side, adds durability. High-abrasion rubber in the forefoot offers durability and traction. We designed the heel specifically for rocker-like movements, like pulling back for a serve.

Nice first impression that goes downhill when used properly.
