Full details

Their key benefit is the combination of a classic 90s aesthetic with Hexalite cushioning for impact absorption.

FAQs

Are these shoes good for actual basketball games?

Yes, the Reebok Kamikaze II OG 2020 trainers are designed with basketball in mind, featuring Hexalite cushioning for shock absorption and a supportive upper for stability during play.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of durable leather and synthetic materials.

How should I clean these trainers?

Use a slightly damp cloth for the upper and a brush with water for the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals and always air dry away from direct heat.

What does Hexalite cushioning do?

Hexalite is a cushioning technology that provides excellent shock absorption and comfort, particularly beneficial during high-impact activities like running or jumping.

Can I wear these casually?

Absolutely. The retro design and classic colorway make them a stylish choice for everyday casual wear.

What year was this specific retro released?

The Reebok Kamikaze II OG 2020 version was released on October 23, 2020.

Do these shoes come in other colors?

This guide specifically covers the Black/White colorway. While other colorways and variations may exist for the Kamikaze II series, this model focuses on the OG 2020 release.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in. If still uncomfortable, consider using thicker socks for a temporary fit adjustment or consult professional shoe stretching services.

Squeaking noise from the sole

This can sometimes occur due to moisture trapped between layers or on smooth surfaces. Try cleaning the outsole thoroughly. If the noise persists, it may be a characteristic of the shoe's construction.

Cushioning feels too firm

The Hexalite cushioning may feel firm initially. Consistent wear will allow the cushioning to adapt to your foot and provide optimal comfort and shock absorption as intended.

Color transfer from red/green accents

In rare cases, color transfer can occur with prolonged contact, especially when wet. Ensure the shoes are dry and avoid contact with light-colored materials until the color is fully set.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for adult males, these trainers are suitable for a wide range of foot sizes. While optimized for basketball and general athletic activities, they are also compatible with casual, everyday wear.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the leather and synthetic parts, use a slightly damp cloth to wipe away dirt and grime. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
  2. Midsole and Outsole: Clean the rubber sole with a brush and water. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the material.
  3. Lining: If the interior becomes soiled, use a dry brush or a lightly damp cloth. Ensure the shoes are air-dried completely away from direct heat.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to maintain their shape and prevent dust accumulation. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
