Troubleshooting

Laces keep coming undone.

Double-knot the laces or consider using lace locks for a more secure fit.

Loosen the laces or consider going up a half size. The Flyknit upper will conform to your foot over time.

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be affecting the grip. Consider using a traction spray for improved grip on particularly dusty courts.
