FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?
While they can be worn casually, they are specifically engineered for high-performance court sports and agile athletic movement.
How do I clean the white sections of the shoe?
Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth to gently wipe the molded upper, then air dry away from direct heat.
What is the benefit of the integrated zipper?
The zipper provides a consistent, adaptive fit that stays secure throughout vigorous play, eliminating the need to stop and re-tie loose laces.
Does the Zoom Air unit require maintenance?
The internal Zoom Air unit is sealed and does not require maintenance, but you should avoid impact with sharp objects that could puncture the sole.
Can these be used on outdoor concrete courts?
While the radial traction is versatile, outdoor concrete will wear down the tread faster than indoor gym surfaces.
Troubleshooting
Zipper feels stiff or difficult to slide
Ensure the zipper track is free of dirt or grit. You can gently clean the track with a soft cloth and ensure the fabric lining is not bunched up underneath.
Foot feels too tight or restricted
Verify that the zipper is fully open when stepping into the shoe. Since the upper is molded, it may take a few sessions for the material to adapt perfectly to the shape of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your SHAI 001 trainers, start by ensuring the zipper is fully cleared of debris before fastening to maintain the smooth glide of the mechanism. Because these trainers utilize a molded upper, avoid extreme heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight when drying, as this can warp the material. To clean, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the treads and a slightly damp cloth to wipe the molded upper. Always store in a cool, dry place to preserve the integrity of the Zoom Air unit cushioning.
