FAQs
What does 'GS' mean in the product name?
'GS' stands for Grade School, indicating that this version of the shoe is specifically sized for children and young teenagers.
How do I clean the blue leather parts?
Use a soft cloth lightly dampened with water and a small amount of mild soap. Gently wipe the affected areas and follow up with a clean damp cloth. Allow to air dry.
Are these suitable for actual basketball games?
While inspired by basketball heritage, these are primarily designed for casual wear and light activities. For competitive basketball, specialized performance footwear is recommended.
What is the ventilation like on these shoes?
The shoes feature a perforated toe box designed to improve airflow and keep feet cooler during wear.
How does the traction hold up on different surfaces?
The durable rubber outsole with a herringbone pattern provides good traction and grip on most common surfaces.
What is the inspiration behind the colorway?
The color scheme is a tribute to the University of North Carolina's blue and white, Michael Jordan's alma mater.
What are the main differences between GS and adult sizes?
GS sizes are typically smaller and may have slight variations in construction or cushioning compared to adult (men's or women's) versions. The sizing scale is also different.
Troubleshooting
Sizing is incorrect.
Verify the UK size conversion carefully, as these are grade-school sizes. Refer to the official size chart or try them on if possible.
Leather appears creased.
Creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, ensure proper fit and avoid over-tightening laces. Use shoe trees for storage.
Soles feel stiff initially.
The soles will become more flexible with regular wear as they break in.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with a mild soap and water solution to clean the leather upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
