Athletic analysis
Forefoot & Heel landing: He moves super fast and always takes big steps that his heels land against great amount of force, his forefoot need quick rebounce from ground
Horizontal Stability: He likes using disguised dribble to fake defender and change direction suddenly, his foot meet strong horizontal force
Sneaker wrap: He initiates extremely fast, his shoe disforms significantly that it should be good at grabing his foot
Fashion Style
"I feel like fashion in the NBA, with athletes and culture, has all started blending together, and it's pretty much at the highest point it's ever been, in my opinion. From guys wearing suits to shorts with T-shirts, and chains and hats, it's really just showing your personality." - Zach

Timberwolves Color scheme
As for the Timberwolves, the team has a wider range of color usage inspired by Minnesota's nature sites. Blue is their most used color on the court and stream services, it will go on the pattern but get a slight greenish-blue involved to add flavor. On the midsole, the transition from blue to greenish-blue ideally represents the teams' identity. Grey as the third color, will serve as the base and carbon plate in the center to balance the entire theme. Light blue will be on the outsole as the final decorative part and use a semi-transparent rubber to reflect the beautiful lake.
Chicago Bulls
When talking about Chicago Bulls you cannot really get away from Michael Jordan, he is the symbol of the team. Red, black and white are the classical color theme of the team and they tie with Air Jordan very much. Red is the only one not netural, it is the key that makes people recognize the team identity so that it goes on the pattern on the flyknit material, LOGO, shoelace tag and midsole to be the identifier. Black as the secondary color will serve as the base due to netural property. White will be the complementary color on the outsole as the decoration and make the entire color theme vibrant and not too dark. The shoelace tag and midsole are in reflective finishs to match with Zach's style as side decorations.
