Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing pattern. Experiment with different lacing techniques to find a secure but comfortable fit for your foot shape.

Traction is reduced on dusty courts

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Regularly clean the outsole for optimal grip.

Discomfort during initial wear

Allow for a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.

Material appears scuffed after outdoor play

This is normal wear for outdoor use. Minor scuffs can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. The EP version is designed for this durability.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are laced properly to achieve the intended secure fit.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball, both indoor and outdoor court play. They are suitable for adult male athletes.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
