FAQs
Are the New Balance BB80s suitable for playing basketball?
The New Balance BB80 features a classic basketball-inspired silhouette and durable design, making it excellent for casual wear. However, it is primarily designed for lifestyle and everyday comfort rather than high-performance athletic activities like competitive basketball.
How do I determine the correct size for the New Balance BB80?
The New Balance BB80 typically runs true to size for adults. We recommend trying them on if possible or consulting a New Balance sizing chart, ensuring you consider your usual UK adult shoe size.
What materials are used in the construction of the BB80?
The New Balance BB80 features a durable rubber outsole for lasting traction. The upper generally consists of a combination of synthetic materials and/or leather to achieve its classic look and support.
Can I machine wash my New Balance BB80 sneakers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives of the shoes. Instead, clean them by hand using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water, then air dry.
How can I prevent my white BB80s from yellowing?
To prevent yellowing, always air dry your shoes away from direct sunlight or harsh heat sources after cleaning. Store them in a cool, dry place, and consider using anti-yellowing shoe protectors if frequently exposed to UV light.
Is this model available in other colors or sizes?
The New Balance BB80 series is often available in various colors and sizes, including different UK adult foot sizes. Please check the product listings for other available options.
What does 'basketball-inspired' mean for this shoe?
'Basketball-inspired' refers to the design aesthetic and silhouette of the shoe, which draws from classic basketball footwear styles. It signifies a retro sporty look rather than specific performance features for playing basketball.
Troubleshooting
My New Balance BB80s feel uncomfortable or rub.
Ensure you have the correct size. Try wearing them for short periods initially to break them in. Adjust lacing for a snug but not overly tight fit. Consider different sock thicknesses if discomfort persists.
The white color is difficult to keep clean.
Regularly wipe down shoes with a damp cloth after wear. For deeper cleaning, use a specialized white shoe cleaner or a mixture of baking soda and mild detergent applied with a soft brush. Avoid prolonged exposure to dirt and puddles.
The outsole seems to be losing its grip.
Inspect the rubber outsole for significant wear or embedded foreign objects. Clean the tread patterns thoroughly to remove any dirt or grime that might be reducing traction. If the sole is heavily worn, it might be time for a replacement.
