Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for actual basketball games?
While inspired by basketball courts, these are lifestyle trainers designed for casual use rather than professional or competitive athletic performance.
How do I ensure the correct size?
These trainers use standard UK sizing. We recommend checking your current adidas footwear size as a reference, as they typically maintain consistent sizing across models.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
It is not recommended. Machine washing can compromise the glue, shape, and overall integrity of the shoe; hand cleaning is safer.
Does the mid-top design hinder movement?
Most users find the mid-top offers a comfortable balance of support and flexibility that does not restrict natural walking gait.
What is the primary material of the upper?
The upper is crafted from a durable synthetic material designed for easy maintenance and a premium look.
Are these suitable for wet weather?
The synthetic upper offers basic protection against moisture, but the shoes are not waterproof and should be dried properly if exposed to heavy rain.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during activity
Consider a 'double-knot' technique or swapping to flat, textured laces to increase friction.
Creasing on the synthetic upper
This is natural for synthetic materials; use a shoe tree when not in use to help the material retain its original shape.
Stiff ankle collar
Gently massage the padded ankle area with your hands to loosen the interior foam before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Breaking In: These shoes generally fit true to size. Wear them with medium-thickness socks during the first few days to allow the synthetic upper to soften to your natural foot movement.
- Cleaning: Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can affect the structure of the lining.
- Drying: Always air-dry at room temperature. Keep the trainers away from direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, which can cause the rubber soles to warp or the synthetic materials to crack.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent premature fading of the colour.
