FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?
These are designed for lifestyle and casual everyday use, not for professional basketball competition.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The synthetic upper is durable and water-resistant, but they are not fully waterproof and should be kept dry to maintain the material.
How should I clean the white sections of the shoe?
Use a specialized sneaker cleaner or a mild detergent solution with a soft cloth to gently lift stains from the white sections.
Are they true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard adidas adult sizing; however, individual foot width may require adjusting the laces.
Can I remove the insoles?
The interior features a textile lining; while some insoles may be removable, it is recommended to keep the original structure for intended comfort.
What is the best way to store these trainers?
Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or warping.
Troubleshooting
The shoes feel too stiff when new
Wear them indoors for short periods to allow the synthetic material to gradually conform to your foot shape.
Accumulated dirt on the sole
Use a soft-bristled brush with water to scrub the rubber outsole, as this clears debris from the traction pattern.
Laces coming undone frequently
Double-knot the laces or ensure the eyelets are fully tightened to secure the mid-foot area.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers maintain their look and feel, start by loosening the laces fully when putting them on for the first time to avoid straining the synthetic upper. The unisex design fits standard adult sizing; always verify your UK size before purchase as they follow standard adidas sizing conventions. To care for the shoes, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water to wipe down the synthetic exterior, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the material finish. Allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the shape of the rubber sole and the integrity of the adhesive.
