Carlton Airblade features KPU casing on the upper, providing high durability and resistance to abrasion. The mesh panels incorporated into the upper add breathability, ensuring that the feet stay cool and dry during play. The gum outsole gives the shoe a traditional, classic look while providing excellent traction and grip on indoor courts. The gum rubber also helps with durability and reduces the risk of slipping during fast movements. The inclusion of a shank in the outsole provides stability during play, particularly when making quick lateral movements. The shank helps maintain a stable base, improving support and control on the court. This combination makes for a well-rounded indoor court shoe suited for a variety of sports, offering both performance and comfort.
