CARACAL is a game day basketball shoe designed for point guards. Designed with lateral rods embedded across the forefoot of the midsole, CARACAL emphasizes lateral explosive movements. CARACAL mimics modern "super shoe" carbon plate technology but rotates the user's force horizontally.

Other design features include a bone-inspired TPU shell, a dual density high walled midsole, as well as a unique traction pattern, all to enhance lateral stability and liftoff.
