Ultrashot 4 Details

Underfoot

The Ultrashot 4 continues the positive revamp of the Ultrashot 3, and it is K-Swiss top-of-the-line performance tennis shoe. Let's get into what is new with version 4. A new CRBN winglet-shaped clip gives extra energy return on the lateral forefoot during various cutting movements. The midsole cushioning and energy return is provided by Surge+ 7.0. The new outsole design has been enhanced with the AOSTA 7.0 rubber compound. The high-density non-marking outsole adds durability from heel to toe.

Upper Section

The visual story of the Ultrashot 4 is told by the DURAPRINT material in the upper which encompasses multilayered PU to protect the shoe from court rash. The Ultrashot 4 remains breathable thanks to DuraMesh and TPU yarn that also reinforces the midfoot with added support.

Fit

Tennis players everywhere keep coming back to K-Swiss tennis shoes thanks to the brand's spacious forefoot section and wide toe boxes. The design fits different foot-types and keeps toes from getting scrunched.

Outsole Guarantee?

We are happy to report the six-month outsole guarantee remains on the Ultrashot 4, so you if you log a lot of miles on the court, the Ultrashot 4 should be top of mind.
