Basketball is not for the ones who easily give up. It's intense and physically exhausting, and the shoes should keep up with the player. The Nike Fly.By Mid makes sure that the gritty player is performing his best by delivering the following:

Secure fit. A mid-top cut, a foam-lined collar, and a custom lacing system all work together make certain that the shoe deliver the amount of support that the player needs.

Abrasion protection. Hard hustling takes its toll on shoes. The Fly.By Mid from Nike can surely take beating because of the leather overlays stitched on critical parts of the upper.

Impact protection. Continuous impact protection even during the most aggressive of games is made certain by the resilient foam in the midsole.
