Product details
Designed for young players with a speed-oriented playing style, this shoe has been recognized by the largest basketball league: the NBA. It mirrors the design of the adult model FAST 900 but has been tailored to meet the needs of a growing child's body.
Our shoes are tested and validated on various surfaces both indoors and outdoors. We assess grip on floors with different dust levels (in the lab and under realistic conditions) as well as abrasion resistance. TARMAK, DECATHLON's basketball brand, is a partner of the NBA, the largest basketball league in the world.
Through this partnership with the National Basketball Association, a product collection has emerged that combines DECATHLON's best expertise (performance, design, comfort, quality, and reliability) with the NBA teams to excite both young and old. Derived from the adult model: FAST 900 LOW-1, this children's version features a similar look while being designed to cater to the needs of a growing body, addressing both sole geometry and material choice.
Children will also be thrilled to wear shoes featuring the logo of their favorite NBA team. To choose the right basketball shoe, consider the following: 1. Determine the child's playing level and frequency. 2. Can the child tie their shoes independently? 3. Choose the right shaft height: covered or uncovered ankle area?
We recommend trying on the shoe before the first training session and selecting the child's usual shoe size for basketball. There should be about 1 cm of space between the toe and the shoe's tip, as the volume and length of the foot can slightly increase during movement. Wearing special basketball socks reduces friction in particularly stressed areas.
