Legendary Nike designer Eric Avar and Kobe Bryant are nearing the end of a dominant run that saw a decade of innovation both on-court and on-foot. With the Nike Grandstand 2, the duo continues to change the game thanks to advancement in Flyknit technology through the addition of TPU yarns, DUST better stability without adding the extra weight. A drop in insole features full-length Lunar with Zoom Air on the heel for maximum comfort and cushion.
