FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball?
While they feature a basketball-inspired design, they are intended for lifestyle and casual use rather than competitive, high-intensity court performance.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
These trainers follow standard adult sizing; it is recommended to order your usual shoe size, as they are designed with a regular fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers, as the heat and agitation can damage the synthetic materials and the structural integrity of the shoe.
Are these shoes unisex?
Yes, the design is categorized as unisex, suitable for any adult looking for this specific mid-top style.
Do the mid-tops provide ankle protection?
The mid-cut profile provides a sense of structure and coverage around the ankle, though it is not a medical-grade support device.
Troubleshooting
The trainers feel too stiff when new.
Wear them indoors for a few hours daily to help the synthetic materials and construction soften naturally.
Minor scuffs on the synthetic upper.
Use a soft-bristled brush or a cloth with mild, soapy water to gently buff out surface marks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your adidas Hoops MID Trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in Period: You may notice a stiffer fit initially due to the synthetic upper. Wear them for short durations to allow the materials to flex to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid submerging the trainers in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesives.
- Lacing: Adjust the laces to a tension that feels secure but does not restrict circulation across the top of your foot.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent synthetic degradation or colour fading.
