FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
While designed for performance, the outsole is optimized for court grip; using them on rough surfaces may wear down the tread pattern faster.
Does the shoe run true to size?
The KAI 1 series follows standard adult UK sizing for basketball trainers, though the knit upper provides a snug, secure fit.
What is the purpose of the heel clip?
The heel clip is designed to provide extra structural support and lock your foot in place, reducing the risk of heel slip during high-speed maneuvers.
How should I clean the knit upper?
Spot clean with a soft brush, mild soap, and water. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using a washing machine.
Is this a high-top or low-top shoe?
The ANTA KAI 1 Playoffs Energy is a low-top model, prioritizing range of motion and agility.
Troubleshooting
Reduced traction on dusty floors
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or a dedicated court grip pad to remove dust and debris.
Knit material picking up stains
Use a gentle textile-safe cleaner and a soft brush; avoid harsh chemicals that might discolor the vibrant yellow and acid-green fabrics.
Feeling loose during intense play
Ensure the laces are tightened evenly across the midfoot and confirm the heel is properly seated against the back of the shoe.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, lace the sneakers securely to leverage the lockdown features of the heel clip. These trainers are designed for indoor and outdoor basketball courts; however, to maintain the integrity of the unique tread pattern, avoid using them on abrasive surfaces like gravel or concrete. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soapy water to treat the knit upper, and air dry in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping or adhesive breakdown.
