With a quick first step and lively movements, the player who plays the speed card doubles down on repeated accelerations, enabling him to get to the basket quickly and leave his opponent far behind. In this case, it's important to opt for a sneaker with lightweight technology and materials, so as not to weigh down movement. Bounce, provided by energy-returning cushioning, offers all the necessary dynamism. The sneaker's traction is also important, since poor grip on the sol will reduce acceleration and speed.
