Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Try wearing thinner socks or consider using the 'heel lock' lacing technique. If the tightness persists, and you are within the return period, consider exchanging for a half-size larger.
Squeaking sound during walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather shoes. Try wearing them for a few days to break them in. If the noise persists, check for any loose insoles or apply a small amount of talcum powder under the insole.
Discoloration on white areas
Gently clean with a damp cloth and a mild soap solution. For stubborn marks, a magic eraser can be used carefully on rubber soles, but test on an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers. No specific setup is required beyond putting them on.
Compatibility: Suitable for men's sizes ranging from 4 to 14.5. While designed for basketball, they are compatible with casual athletic wear. Consider sizing up if you prefer a roomier fit, as retro trainers can sometimes run snug.
Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Reebok Kamikaze II OG (2020) trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and scuffs from the leather and synthetic materials. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or cloth with a bit of soap and water to clean the rubber parts. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the materials.
- Laces: Remove laces for separate cleaning. They can be hand-washed or placed in a mesh bag and machine-washed on a gentle cycle.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, as this can cause materials to crack or warp. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
