Tracy McGrady is a name that is often forgotten when people discuss the all-time great basketball players. He is one of the most talented and exciting players of his generation.
adidas and “TMAC” would partner on a successful line of signature sneakers. Learn more about Tracy McGrady and the adidas TMAC 6 below.
TMAC 6
The adidas TMAC 6 is the last signature sneaker released in the TMAC series. It was the end of an era. Due to injuries, TMAC’s luster as a player and pitchman was declining.
The TMAC 6 was once again pushing the boundaries when it came to tech. The tech was driven by data for each individual wearer/player and their unique playing style.
The pods in each shoe provided different levels of cushioning and control for each athlete. The soles were divided into two parts.
One half had regular cushioning for comfort and support. This helped both feet when jumping. The inner part of the shoe consisted of independent pods, held together with a TPU for stability.
There was also a low top version of the TMAC 6 released.
