FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?
Yes, the radial traction rubber outsole is designed for durability and grip, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor surfaces.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft, damp cloth and a mild leather cleaner. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes.
Can I replace the insoles?
While the shoe features integrated comfort technology, the insoles are typically removable if you need to insert custom orthotics.
What is the primary function of the zip shroud?
The zip shroud provides a secure, locked-in fit and contributes to the clean, modern aesthetic of the shoe.
Do these trainers fit true to size?
Yes, the SHAI 001 generally fits true to standard UK adult sizing, though the leather upper may feel snug initially before breaking in.
Troubleshooting
Zip shroud feels difficult to close
Ensure the lace area underneath is not bunched up. If it persists, use a small amount of clear wax on the zipper track.
Outsole losing grip
Clean the rubber sole with a soft brush and warm water to remove accumulated dust and debris that can impede traction.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your SHAI 001 trainers remain in top condition, follow these guidelines:
- Initial Fit: Ensure the zip shroud is fully open when putting the shoes on to avoid putting unnecessary strain on the zipper hardware.
- Leather Care: As these are crafted from leather, wipe them down with a soft, slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging in water.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or fading.
- Zipper Maintenance: If the zipper becomes stiff, a small amount of clear candle wax or a graphite pencil rubbed on the teeth can help restore smooth movement.
