FAQs

Are these shoes good for outdoor basketball?

While durable, the traction and knit upper are specifically designed for indoor hardwood to maximize longevity.

Do I need to break them in?

Yes, the knit upper may feel stiff initially and typically requires a few wears to mold perfectly to your foot shape.

How should I clean the icy outsole?

Wipe with a damp cloth after each use to maintain the transparency and grip of the rubber.

What is the benefit of the carbon fiber shank?

It provides structural integrity to the midfoot, preventing the shoe from collapsing during high-pressure lateral movements.

Can I replace the insoles?

The insoles are removable, allowing for the use of custom orthotics if required for additional support.

Troubleshooting

Knit upper appears dirty after play

Use a specialized sneaker cleaning foam and a microfiber cloth for gentle surface cleaning.

Feeling instability during sharp cuts

Check that the laces are tightened adequately and the lace dubraes are not interfering with the tongue's position.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior impact protection via dual Zoom Air units
  • Excellent torsional support for high-intensity play
  • Lightweight and breathable knit construction
  • Distinctive design with metallic branding details

Cons

  • Light-colored knit upper is prone to showing dirt
  • Requires a break-in period for the knit material to soften
  • Less suitable for abrasive outdoor concrete courts

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, ensure you secure the laces firmly across the midfoot to leverage the built-in support structures. Since these are performance trainers, they are best suited for indoor court surfaces to preserve the life of the outsole and the cleanliness of the white knit upper.

Care Instructions:

  • Spot Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution to gently remove debris from the knit upper.
  • Avoid Washing Machines: Never submerge the shoes in a washer, as this can degrade the internal adhesives and the Zoom Air units.
  • Air Dry: Always allow the shoes to air dry at room temperature; keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the knit from warping or the glue from losing its bond.
