Union Speed II
If you live in Japan, you've probably seen this shoe already on court and at retail stores. I figured I'd post them up since it was not released outside of Japan. This model is a step brother to Make It Rain - a lighter version for quick guards for those who play Bukatsu ball. It shares the same outsole/ midsole design as its predecessor, with an improved rubber compound that is little more grippier.
日本に住んでいる人はもう既にコートやお店で見かけたかもしれない。日本国外では発売されなかったので紹介します。このモデルはMake It Rainの弟分として部活でプレーするスピードタイプのガード選手の為に誕生。前モデルと同じミッドソールとアウトソールを使用し、ラバーコンパウンドをすこし変えてグリップが向上。
What's unique about this shoe is the construction. Free floating webbing, or what I call 'fingers' create support for the midfoot, while the monomesh underneath give plenty ventilation to let the heat out. I guess "hot" kicks don't always have to literally be that way.
この靴のユニークな点は構造です。すこし浮かした状態のサイドのウェビングが中足部をサポートし、その下のモノメッシュが靴の中の蒸れを解消。"Hot"なキックスは必ずしも"熱く"なくても良い訳です。
