This setup is very well-balanced and versatile. It has something for every position and playing style: enough responsiveness to cater to lighter, shiftier guards, and enough concussion protection and compression for the bigger and more powerful hoopers out there.

The combination of the rubber cupsole and the TPU foot frame adds enough torsional rigidity to keep up with on-court demands.

The cupsole and the foot frame also add a ton of containment to the shoe. There are portions of the cupsole that wrap the upper that act as sidewalls and the foot frame also provides arch support. In the heel, there is a substantial heel counter that does its job well. The one issue the Tatum 3 has, as far as support goes, has to do with the exposed portion of Cushlon 3.0 in the forefoot.
