FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the Air Zoom cushioning?

The Air Zoom cushioning provides responsive energy return, helping with explosive movements and quick accelerations on the court.

Are these trainers suitable for wide feet?

The fit is generally standard. For wider feet, it's recommended to check reviews or try them on if possible, as the secure fit might feel restrictive for some.

Can I use these for outdoor basketball?

These trainers are specifically designed for indoor court performance. Outdoor surfaces can cause excessive wear to the outsole and affect performance.

How long does the break-in period typically last?

The break-in period can vary, but most users find the shoes comfortable and responsive after a few intense play sessions or several hours of wear.

What is the material of the upper?

The upper is typically constructed with a combination of breathable mesh and synthetic materials for a lightweight, supportive, and comfortable fit.

How should I clean the white and orange colorway?

Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid soaking the shoes. Ensure to dry them thoroughly away from direct heat.

What does 'Academy EP' signify in the product name?

'Academy' often denotes a model geared towards training and development, while 'EP' (also known as 'Enlarged Perforation') typically indicates a wider fit suitable for players in Asian markets, though it often provides a more accommodating fit generally.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring they are not overtightened. If the tightness persists, consider trying a half-size larger or exploring alternative lacing techniques.

Traction is reduced on dusty courts

Periodically wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup. Some players also use a small brush to clean the grooves.

Cushioning feels stiff initially

New shoes often require a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase playing time to allow the cushioning to become more responsive.

Upper material showing wear

Inspect for specific stress points and consider reinforcing them with a fabric glue if minor fraying occurs. Avoid abrasive activities that could damage the material.
