FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?
While durable, the traction pattern and material are optimized for indoor surfaces, though the leather construction offers better longevity than synthetic mesh on outdoor courts.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The Kyrie 6 typically fits true to size, but the internal padding provides a snug 'lockdown' feel that some users may find tight initially.
How do I best clean the leather upper?
Use a gentle leather cleaner or a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid harsh chemicals that could crack or discolour the leather.
Can I use these for running?
These are primarily basketball trainers; while suitable for warm-ups, they are not intended for long-distance running.
What is the purpose of the midfoot strap?
The strap provides additional lateral stability, locking the foot onto the footbed to prevent rolling or sliding during quick cuts.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the primary laces significantly before adjusting the tension on the midfoot strap to find a balanced fit.
Outsole losing grip on dusty courts
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a dedicated sticky mat to restore traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Kyrie 6 trainers maintain their performance, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. For the leather upper, wipe down with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dust and court debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the structural integrity of the leather and the cushioning foam. When lacing, ensure the midfoot strap is snug but not constricting to maintain circulation during long practice sessions.
