Some of the groundbreaking and innovative technologies that make New Balance Basketball Shoes such a team-sports favorite are:

Abzorb®: A special feature providing maximum shock absorbency while resisting compression set - key on any indoor or outdoor court and especially important for athletes who want to minimize impact, protecting knees and ankles insist on.
Abzorb SBS®: A premium technology for the performance athlete that offers enhanced cushioning benefits through a unique cored design and superior material properties. New Balance Basketball shoes offers them an enabler in a fast-paced and intense court-based high-energy sport.
Blown Rubber: 40% lighter then solid rubber. The addition of air makes for a softer, more cushioned landing. Again, New Balance shoes step up and bring the required ''airborne'' qualities required by coaches and players, making New Balance Basketball Shoes an obvious choice and team-champion.
C-Cap®: EVA molded under pressure provides a firm, cushioned midsole that is lightweight. Carbon Rubber: The addition of carbon to rubber yields an exceptionally long wearing, abrasion-resistant outside material.
Cool Max: A 100% spun polyester found in New Balance apparel, including New Balance Basketball Shoes that wicks moisture away from the skin and accelerates evaporation.
Counter Reinforcer: A polyurethane motion control device that cups the heel and provides rear-foot motion control. Because it is extended on the medial side of the shoe, it offers special protection for the over-pronator.
Delfy: A Mircoporous Coating used on some apparel forming an integral part of the fabric to achieve superior moisture permeability, water and wind proofness.
Dry Last: A lightweight micro nylon spandex filament with the softhand like cotton and the performance features of Lycra®. This stretch nylon is quick-drying, durable, colorfast and shrink resistant.
Encap®: A cushioning core of EVA is encapsulated within a shell of polyurethane which adds stability and disperses shock.
Flextended® Saddle: A material overlay on the shoe's midfoot that wraps the instep to stabilize and support the arch throughout the gait cycle and provides additional freedom of movement and a more precise, individual fit.
Flex Grooves: Anatomically designed grooves provide forefoot flexibility and Graphite Rollbar: A lightweight flat or molded piece of graphite material biochemically positioned in the midsole which maximizes rearfoot stability - all add to the stability, agility, and overall mobility of the New Balance Basketball Shoes.
Indy 500 Plus Max®: A type of carbon rubber used in high-wear areas of some New Balance Basketball court shoe outsoles.
Medial Post: A medial wedge of higher than normal density C-Cap midsole material extending from the heel to the first metatarsal head, which provides pronation control.
Metatarsal Pad: A softer durometer EVA under the ball of the foot provides added cushioning as well.
N-ergy: New Balance's patented new soling technology consisting of a durable, resilient cartridge that sits in the heel of a running of New Balance Basketball shoe to offer better stability and cushioning.
