Boys' Adidas Big Kid Initiation J Basketball Shoes The Adidas Initiation J is a kids' low-top basketball sneaker built around a volt neon mesh upper with black synthetic overlays at the toe box and heel collar. The lateral side carries the Adidas Three Stripes in black against the bright upper, and a graphic print at the midsole sidewall adds visual interest at the base. A lace-up closure and reinforced toe cap support the structure needed for court play.
