Dominate the Court in the adidas YEEZY Basketball Quantum 2020

 adidas YEEZY Basketball Quantum 2020

While most of Kanye West's adidas shoes fall into the lifestyle category, the Basketball Quantum is a more performance-oriented model. Boasting West's signature angular aesthetic and a striking color-blocked design, these shoes turn heads on and off the court. This model made its first appearance in the 2020 NBA 3-Point Contest and Celebrity All-Star Game in Chicago.

Materials and design features of the adidas YEEZY basketball Quantum

These YEEZY Quantum shoes feature performance-enhancing materials and features to help you on the court. An RPU cage locks in the upper, giving it extra stability and support during fast maneuvers. This cage has a slightly translucent effect that allows the zebra pattern underneath to show through. Look closely, and you can see the adidas three-stripe logo mark reflected in the negative space that's created by the cage.

As you move, the knit collar provides a snug fit and a supportive feeling. A synthetic suede toe cap provides durability during a high-speed game. The herringbone rubber outsole is engineered for enhanced traction on the court, and the Boost midsoles keep you comfortable. To set these shoes apart, adidas uses a layer of semi-translucent TPU around the sides of the midsole. Unlike the lifestyle QNTM model, the Basketball version doesn't have the YEEZY reflective elements.

Difference between YEEZY basketball Quantum and QNTM

These YEEZY shoes come in two different versions: performance and lifestyle. The YEEZY Basketball Quantum (or "BKSTBL", as it's styled by adidas), come with special materials and features to help you on the court. The lifestyle version, the YEEZY QNTM, is designed for comfort and casual wear.

West famously distributed the lifestyle shoes in Chicago the same weekend as the Basketball version debuted at the 2020 NBA events. Since then, different colorways have been released to the general public.

About the Quantum Boost soles

Like many of Kanye West's adidas collaborations, this model uses Boost material. Boost is a type of foam padding that's made with many different TPU capsules rather than a solid sheet of foam. When you step or make a jump shot, your weight compresses the capsules; then, the unique design allows them to rebound quickly. As a result, the soles offer increased energy return, creating the shoes' signature bouncy feeling and soft cushioning.
