Key technological features of the COURT FF™ 2 model:

FLYTEFOAM™ Midsole
Our FLYTEFOAM™ technology provides exceptional bounce back and responsiveness, utilizing organic super fibers to help reduce packing out that traditionally happens with softer and lower density foams. COURT FF™ 2 model has a 2nd generation of the FLYTEFOAM™ midsole which is blended for core performance sports like Tennis, Volleyball amongst others. This version of FLYTEFOAM™ midsole consists of and FLYTEFOAM™ LYTE use organic nano fiber.
Originally deployed in ASICS performance running shoes, FLYTEFOAM™ technology made with reinforced fibers provides lightweight and continuous cushioning. ASICS Institute of Sport Science is now applying this technology to court sports like tennis that require more side-side motion and back-force motion where durability is key. That's why court-specific FLYTEFOAM™ midsoles are not only approximately 35% lighter than the industrial standard midsole material, but also approximately 10% more durable than FLYTEFOAM™ midsoles designed for running footwear.
