## Features & Specifications

- **Upper**: Construction features a flow-molded ADITUFF abrasion zone made with recycled BOOST material for added durability, and includes at least 50% recycled polyester under the Primegreen initiative for sustainability. The redesigned tongue offers a soft, stretchy fit, while revised Heel Geo Fit Pods improve ankle collar comfort and security. Breathable, durable mesh ensures dynamic support and optimal airflow[2].
- **Midsole**: Equipped with a TPU midfoot shank for enhanced torsional stability, helping control medial and lateral movements during aggressive play. Dual-density Repetitor midsole technology combines a softer, lighter foam in the heel for responsive cushioning and a firmer foam in the forefoot for stability during directional changes and powerful take-offs[1][2].
