Jordan Tatum 1 GS "Cool Grey" DX5359-002

The Jordan Tatum 1 GS “Cool Grey” DX5359-002 is engineered with specific design innovations to enhance basketball performance, catering to the practical demands of the game. One of the standout features of this shoe is its collapsible heel, which is distinctly marked with a “STEP” label, enabling athletes to quickly slip the shoe on or off without hassle. This innovation is particularly designed with young players in mind, simplifying the process of gearing up for practice or games.

In an effort to refine the shoe’s weight for optimal performance, the design carefully places rubber only in critical areas — the forefoot and toe. This decision reduces the shoe’s overall weight, thereby enhancing agility and speed on the court, yet maintains essential traction where it counts, supporting explosive movements and sprints.

The midsole’s architecture is a testament to thoughtful engineering, incorporating foam encased in a robust plastic frame. This not only provides a light structural foundation but also ensures the shoe can withstand the wear and tear of competitive play, verified through rigorous stress-testing to last the duration of extensive game play.

Moreover, the use of lightweight mesh for the upper construction offers dual benefits: it ensures the shoe remains strong and supportive while also facilitating air circulation, keeping players’ feet cool under game-time pressure.

Dressed in a Medium Grey/Gunsmoke/White colour scheme, the Jordan Tatum 1 GS “Cool Grey” marries function with a visually appealing design, making it a compelling choice for basketball players seeking a shoe that delivers in terms of performance, durability, and convenience of use.
