Aesthetically, the shoe is defined by its engineering. To gain an aerial advantage, athletes have to be positioned farther off the ground.

The quotes
“The AlphaDunk began from a study in jump height” – Ross Klein, Senior Creative Design Director for Nike Basketball.
“We began to consider what would happen if we bring our most responsive technology, Zoom Air, to the entire forefoot to cover the full motion of a jump, from load to launch. What could it do?” – Ross Klein
