About this product
It Takes Speed and Strength to Serve and Protect
Take Danner's full-grain leather and ripstop nylon, add a polyurethane footbed and a deeply cushioned midsole, and you've got the Kinetic. It's tough on the outside and soft on the inside — and thanks to its lightweight build, it's agile and responsive.
