Ok, so you have a leather upper, Abzorb in the forefoot, C-Cap in the midsole and a non marking rubber sole. New Balance designed this indoor/outdoor basketball shoe for players that desired cushioned support in a lightweight basketball shoe. This shoe seems although that it was begging for what seems like an ‘X’ on the upper to be brought to the forefront of the shoes design but unfortunately that just wasn’t the case. Take a trip back to 1996 above!
