FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for athletic tennis matches?
While inspired by tennis, these are lifestyle trainers and are intended for casual, off-court wear rather than high-performance sports.
How should I clean the rubber outsoles?

Does the sizing run true to UK standards?
Yes, the adidas Originals Billie Jean King trainers generally follow standard UK sizing conventions.
Can I use a leather conditioner on the suede?
No, do not use leather conditioners on the suede, as they will cause the material to matte and darken.

This is a famous quote from Billie Jean King, emphasizing that experiencing pressure is a sign that you have earned your position in the game.
Is the shoe width standard?
Yes, they feature a standard medium width suitable for most foot types.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt or debris on the suede surface
Use a specialized suede brush or a soft-bristled brush to gently buff the area until the debris is removed.
Light water marks on the surface

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Because these trainers feature an 'Off-White' suede upper, maintenance is essential for longevity. Before the first wear, apply a suede-specific water and stain repellent spray to create a protective barrier against the elements. To clean, use a suede-specific brush to gently lift dirt and dust particles in the direction of the grain. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can permanently discolour the suede. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from hardening.
