FAQs

Are the Reebok Defiance 88 suitable for playing tennis?

While inspired by tennis culture, the Defiance 88 is primarily designed as a lifestyle sneaker for casual wear. For actual tennis play, specialized tennis shoes would offer better performance and support.

How do I clean the gum rubber sole?

You can clean the gum rubber sole with a damp cloth or a soft brush. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap and water solution, then rinse and let it air dry.

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is primarily made of crisp Footwear White leather, accented with breathable mesh quarter panels.

Is this a unisex model?

Yes, the Reebok Defiance 88 features a unisex silhouette, suitable for all genders.

What does 'Virtual Blue' refer to?

Virtual Blue refers to the specific color used for some of the branding elements on the sneaker, adding a subtle accent.

How should I store these sneakers when not in use?

Store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as this can trap moisture.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still uncomfortable after initial wear, try wearing them with thinner socks or allow for a brief break-in period. If the fit is significantly off, consider exchanging for a different size.

Soles are slippery on certain surfaces.

The gum rubber outsole provides good traction for most surfaces. However, very smooth or wet surfaces may reduce grip. Ensure the sole is clean of debris. If significant slippage occurs, consider alternative footwear for hazardous conditions.

Leather shows scuffs or marks.

Minor scuffs on the leather can often be buffed out with a soft cloth. For more noticeable marks, use a specialized leather cleaner suitable for white leather, following the product instructions carefully.
