Power and grace. Vince Carter. He’s amazing. The Toronto Raptors’ star is the inspiration for the Nike Shox VC, truly high-performance, cutting-edge, innovative hoop footwear. Nike spent 16 years developing the Nike Shox cushioning technology. It’s designed to propel the game’s best players - like Vince - to the highest level of explosiveness, ride and quickness. This is more than a shoe. It’s high-flying hoop system.
Toronto Raptors star Vince Carter is the inspiration for this high-performance, cutting-edge, innovative hoop jump system. It’s designed to propel the game’s best players - like Vince - to the highest level of explosiveness, ride and quickness. This shoe is inspired footwear innovation. It features a hidden eye-stay design with a gleaming synthetic shroud lace cover, Nike’s famed medial-side anti-ankle inversion TPU structure (otherwise known in hoop circles as a monkey paw) and an internal injected TPU rib cage for enhanced support and articulated comfort, plus a dynamic-fit forefoot sleeve. A full-length Phylon™ midsole, with heel and forefoot Nike Shox™ cushioning, and a solid rubber outsole and maximum-traction herringbone outsole pattern complete the shoe.
- Hidden eyestay upper design: In addition to stylish design, it features a synthetic lace cover over a conventional-style lacing system, for a snug, adjustable fit and ultra-sleek look.
- Internalized medial-side anti-inversion: A fancy way to say this stability structure shoe will keep you where you belong… on top.
- Internalized TPU ribs: More enhanced support and articulated comfort
- Dynamic forefoot sleeve: Great fit and stretchy comfort
- Full-length Phylon midsole: It’s tough, it’s durable, it’s non-yellowing, lightweight and isn’t susceptible to attack by water or microbials, plus it’s got an exposed injected heel support counter for stability.
- Nike Shox heel/forefoot cushioning system: Technically, it’s exposed phase heel/forefoot cushioning units, but in reality it’s a high-tech design of highly resilient foam found in demanding automotive applications. It gives you foot rockets.
- Solid rubber outsole: With maximum traction herringbone outsole design for great footing
