The adidas Marquee Boost, the most comfortable sneaker in the game, has made its way from the BK to your basketball court. Marquee Boost basketball shoes are designed in Brooklyn, the birthplace of hoops, and feature a molded ankle collar, mesh uppers, a full-length Boost midsole, and a herringbone outsole for more traction on the court. Advertisers may choose to have their logo printed on the shoe's heel or around the upper of the shoe. The Boost is one of the most popular styles of basketball shoe and part of the AdiZero family, which also includes the Superstar II and the Gazelle. The shoe was first introduced in the 1995-96 season and became a hit with players when it came with a breathable mesh upper instead of leather or synthetic materials. It was also sold at a reasonable price at $50-$75 then outsold all other brands' sneakers. Players such as Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant wear the Boost extensively throughout the season and into the off-season. In fact, according to Nike, this is the most requested shoe by NBA players after the Air Force 1. Boost technology uses nitrogen gas that's been liquefied and stored under pressure in an aluminum tank within the shoe. This gas is released gradually through small holes in the bottom of the shoe to provide support where it is needed most. The result is greater comfort for players over long periods of time.
