Jose Alvarado x Peak Taichi Flash 5 - Lion Dance

Jose Alvarado x Peak Taichi Flash 5 "Lion Dance", the entire shoe body is in off-white color, injecting the ancient Chinese folk art "lion dance" culture into modern basketball shoes, low-key and simple, full of details.

The lion head-shaped illustration on the heel, the words "舞狮" and "采青" on the strap, and the small hydrangea print on the inside of the shoe, every detail tells the story of Chinese style and also provides excellent visual effects under dynamic conditions.

Stability and flexibility, two opposing directions, how can we achieve a balance between them? The answer I gave is: half a beat faster
In the few tenths of a second that determines victory or defeat on the court. If you are too fast, you will easily lose control; if you are too slow, you will often miss the opportunity; if you are just right, it is the law of victory. Vision in half a beat, steals in half a beat, passing in half a beat...
Almost half a beat, just right
Almost half a beat, flash 5

Lateral protective wall: 1.2mm|65A hardness
The large area of lateral TPU extending from the toe to the heel provides strong lateral movement stability.

"Pallet" type anti-torsion plate
The high-strength TPU material comes with reinforced ribs to provide a smooth transition between the front and rear palms and overall enhance the stability of lateral movement.

High strength woven upper
Made of high-strength nylon TPU silk weaving, with a cross structure and hot-melt adhesive reinforcement, it provides a comfortable fit and excellent wrapping and support properties.

The inner and outer R angles of the sneakers are >90°, fully releasing the flexibility of the sneakers. The inner side is equipped with an upturned rubber multi-texture treatment, making multiple left and right direction changes more sensitive and neat.

The texture of the outsole is divided according to different force-generating positions to cope with complex movement changes, firmly grasping the ground and responding flexibly to changes in direction.
