FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
While durable, they are optimized for indoor performance; using them outdoors will lead to faster wear on the traction pattern.
Do I need to size up?
The fit is generally true to size, but the structured overlays provide a snug, performance-oriented fit.
How should I clean the white upper?
Use a soft brush and a mild cleaning solution specifically for footwear, then allow them to air dry at room temperature.
Does this shoe offer good arch support?
Yes, the internal midfoot frame is designed to provide substantial arch and midfoot support during lateral movements.
Are they heavy compared to other trainers?
They are designed for stability and support, so they have a substantial feel that prioritizes lockdown over ultralight weight.
Troubleshooting
Slippage on the court
Wipe the soles with a damp cloth or towel to remove dust and debris that accumulate on the rubber.
Feeling too tight at the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to be slightly looser in the midfoot area, or allow 2-3 sessions for the upper materials to naturally flex and adapt to your foot shape.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers perform at their peak, follow these guidelines:
- Fitting: Ensure the laces are adjusted to your preferred tension level before play; the padded collar is designed to contour to your ankle once the laces are pulled snug.
- Surface Usage: While the outsole is durable, it is optimized for indoor basketball courts. Excessive outdoor use on rough pavement may wear down the traction pattern prematurely.
- Cleaning: After use, wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust buildup, which helps maintain maximum grip. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the structured overlays and midsole foam integrity.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
