FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball play?
The S.T. Flare 2 is excellent for pickup games and recreational play, though professional athletes may prefer specialized performance-specific models.
Are they water-resistant?
The trainers are made of breathable polyester, which is not waterproof. It is best to avoid wearing them in heavy rain.
Do these come in other sizes?
Yes, the S.T. Flare 2 is available in a wide range of adult sizes, typically spanning from UK 6.5 to UK 12.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
Machine washing is generally discouraged as it can compromise the structural integrity and adhesives of the shoe. Manual cleaning is recommended.
Is the material stretchy?
The polyester material offers a slight amount of flexibility to accommodate natural foot swelling during exercise while maintaining a secure structure.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied during play
Consider using a double-knot or replacing the laces with textured athletic laces if the issue persists.
Accumulation of dirt in the breathable mesh
Use a dry, soft brush to gently clear debris from the fibers after every use.
Foot slipping inside the shoe
Ensure the laces are tightened starting from the bottom eyelets for a more secure mid-foot lockdown.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike S.T. Flare 2 trainers last as long as possible, it is essential to follow proper care protocols.
- Sizing: Ensure you select the appropriate UK size as these trainers are designed for a performance-focused snug fit.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to spot-clean the polyester upper. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh detergents.
- Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature away from direct heat sources like radiators, as high heat can damage the synthetic materials and glue.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew and ensure the structure of the shoe remains intact.
