Structure
This hoops shoe is built with Hyperfuse technology, a groundbreaking process that fuses three different layers of material to create a nearly seamless one-piece upper. The result: zones of ventilation, durability and stability right where you need them. And because Hyperfuse construction almost completely eliminates stitching, this shoe has a seamless fit and feel on and off the court.
Support
An ankle strap with a hook-and-loop closure delivers serious support and a lockdown fit during merciless play. An outrigger at the outsole helps keep the foot from rolling during side-to-side movements, and a heel counter provides lateral stability during quick cuts and sudden sprints.
Cushioning
The game of basketball demands exceptional cushioning. Whether coming down from a rebound or sprinting toward the hoop, the Max Air unit in the heel of the Nike Air Max Fly By offers maximum impact protection. For additional comfort, the shoe features an updated, cushy Phylon midsole that weighs nearly one ounce less than traditional Phylon.
