FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
While they provide great traction, the outsole and upper materials are optimized for indoor surfaces. Using them on rough outdoor asphalt may cause premature wear.
How do I clean the white accents?
Use a soft brush and a mild detergent solution, specifically targeting the mesh and synthetic areas. Avoid scrubbing the leather too harshly.
What is the primary benefit of the carbon fiber heel cup?
It provides rigid structural support to the rear of the foot, preventing heel slippage and increasing stability during high-speed lateral cuts.
Do these trainers provide good ankle support?
The bootie-style construction and reinforced overlays provide solid containment, though they offer a more flexible feel than a high-top boot.
How should I store them to maintain their shape?
Keep the original tissue paper inside the shoes when not in use and store them in a climate-controlled environment to preserve the midsole foam.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort during the first use
The leather overlays require a break-in period. Try wearing the shoes for shorter sessions to allow the materials to soften naturally.
Slipping on the court surface
Ensure the outsole is free of dust buildup by wiping the rubber with a clean, damp towel to restore traction.
Tight fit around the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be looser in the midfoot area or try thinner socks until the neoprene bootie fully molds to your foot.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, proper care is essential. Since the upper contains leather and synthetic overlays, wipe them down with a damp cloth after each use to remove court dust and debris. Do not machine wash or dry, as this can degrade the specialized midsole cushioning and the integrity of the carbon fiber components. For sizing, these trainers run true to standard athletic sizes; ensure you wear performance-weight basketball socks to achieve the intended fit. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent discoloration of the Glow Blue and White materials.
