FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?

Yes, the Ja 2 series is designed with performance features that support athletic activities like basketball, including cushioning and traction.

How do I clean the glow-in-the-dark outsole?

Clean the outsole gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners. To recharge the glow effect, expose it to light.

What does the 'Mismatched' design mean?

It means that the left and right shoes have different color gradients and design elements, creating a unique and bold look.

What is the ""Ohhh Yeah!"" detail?

This is a playful collar detail referencing the iconic catchphrase associated with the Kool-Aid Man character.

What are the primary colors of these trainers?

The primary colors are blue raspberry and cherry red, with silver accents. The outsole also glows in the dark.

Are these trainers available in other sizes?

Yes, this model is available in various UK adult sizes. Please check the product listing for available sizes.

Can these be worn for running?

While they offer good cushioning, they are primarily designed for basketball and lateral movements. For dedicated running, a specialized running shoe is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Loosen the laces and adjust the fit. If still uncomfortable, consider if the size is appropriate or if they need a brief break-in period.

Traction is poor on court

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Wipe down with a damp cloth if necessary. Break-in period might be needed for optimal grip.

Glow-in-the-dark effect is weak

Expose the outsole to a direct light source (like a lamp or sunlight) for several minutes to 'charge' the luminescent material.

Laces are fraying

Replace laces with a similar type to maintain the shoe's aesthetic and functionality. Nike offers replacement laces for their footwear.
