Mid-Rise Basketball Shoes SE900 - Red/NBA Chicago Bulls

Cédric, product manager, explains the technology in the SE900 sole

The SE900 is the most technical basketball shoe in Tarmak's entire range.

Our shoes are designed with a both lightweight and rigid, anatomically shaped plate made from TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane), a polymer with superior performance, in the sole situated between 2 distinctly different, extremely responsive EVA foam layers: a more rigid upper layer and a more supple lower layer.

The combination of the 2 provides you with cushioning and stability

Advantages of our SE900:

Cédric (product manager), Terry (product engineer), and Max (designer) develop your shoes in close collaboration with a network of players, coaches, and you!

Therefore, we choose materials, create prototypes, and test and approve products in the lab and on the court.

In addition to the unique sole which gives you even more bounce, cushioning and stability, the new SE900 guarantees optimal foot support thanks to its Weblock strap system at the mid-foot.

Choosing your basketball shoes

To choose your Basketball shoes, you must first:

- determine your skill level and playing frequency,

- then determine your playing style (on the move or as post),

- finally, correctly choose the height of the upper that will support your ankle (high, mid, or low-rise).

Choosing your shoe size

Choose a shoe size greater than what you would normally wear so that your foot is sure to be comfortable in the shoe.

There should be 1cm between your toe and the tip of the shoe, as your foot tends to swell while exercising. Opt for a basketball sock that prevents blisters thanks to the specific materials strategically placed in areas prone to rubbing.
