#kixspotted World Balance Sidestep

 

The World Balance Sidestep is the first basketball shoe from World Balance that uses their TerraSoft Insole System 2.0 as part of their cushioning. Sporting a hightop build, the World Balance Sidestep is made from textile upper with fuse overlays or Hotmelt as what World Balance calls it. The Hotmelt provides additional layer of durability from wear and tear while still keeping the shoe light. There is a synthetic leather panel on the eyestay but they kept it to a minimum so it would not add up too much weight. The tongue is made up of mesh material for breathability. There is the World Balance logo on the tongue as well as on the collar area and underneath the rubber outsole. For cushioning, Trampolite foam is the main cushion source together with their new TerraSoft Insole System 2.0. The store staff said that it is an upgrade from the previous. Upon checking I would say that it is less dense from the first so maybe it would add more of step-in comfort. The World Balance Sidestep retails for Php 2,799 and comes in 2 colorways (white and black based), which you can get now at World Balance Trinoma and other WB branches and online.
