FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
Yes, they feature a regular fit that matches standard athletic shoe sizing for adults.
Can I wear these for outdoor basketball?
While durable, the outsole is optimized for indoor court performance; outdoor use on abrasive surfaces may accelerate wear.
How does the Boost cushioning feel?
Boost in the heel provides a soft, bouncy sensation during landings while the front remains firm for court responsiveness.
What is the primary function of the TPU wings?
The wings act as a lateral containment system to support the foot during high-speed lateral movements.
Are these shoes unisex?
While this specific model is listed for men, the sizing and design can accommodate anyone looking for a performance basketball shoe.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of restricted movement in the midfoot
Adjust the lacing tension, specifically at the mid-section, to ensure the TPU wings are not cinched too tightly against the foot.
Slippage on dusty court surfaces
Use a damp cloth to wipe the rubber outsole before play to restore grip, or use a sticky mat to clear dust from the tread.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, lace the shoes snugly to engage the TPU support wings. As these are technical basketball trainers, they are best suited for indoor court surfaces to preserve the integrity of the outsole. To care for your trainers, avoid machine washing. Instead, wipe the synthetic upper and honeycomb panels with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources, which can warp the foam cushioning over time. Inspect the outsole regularly for debris, as stones or grit trapped in the tread can reduce traction.
