FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing basketball?
While inspired by basketball designs, these are lifestyle trainers and are not intended for high-intensity, competitive basketball use.
How do I clean the white leather/synthetic upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap to wipe down the surface. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
Does this model come in other colors?
Yes, the Hoops series is available in several variations, including White/Black, Black/White, and White/Blue options.
Is the fit true to size?
Yes, these are designed with a regular fit based on standard adult UK sizing.
Can I replace the insoles?
The textile sockliner is designed for comfort; however, if you require specific orthotics, the internal space may accommodate a thin aftermarket insole.
What does the 'MID' in the name mean?
MID refers to the mid-top silhouette, which sits higher on the ankle than a low-top sneaker, offering more support and a distinct style.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone frequently
Ensure a proper double knot is tied or consider using a different lacing technique to increase tension.
Scuff marks on the white upper
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning wipe or a damp cloth with a tiny amount of gentle detergent to buff away the mark.
Discomfort during long walks
Check that the socks being worn are moisture-wicking and not too thick, and ensure the laces are not pulled excessively tight across the bridge of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your trainers in top condition, start by adjusting the lace closure to your preferred tension upon first wear to break them in comfortably. These trainers are standard UK sizing and provide a regular fit. For care, it is recommended to spot clean the exterior with a soft cloth and mild soap solution. Avoid machine washing or drying, as high heat can damage the bonding agents and materials. If the trainers become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators, to prevent material warping.
