FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for basketball performance today?
While inspired by a basketball shoe from 1997, the Crazy 97 EQT is primarily designed for lifestyle and casual wear. It may not offer the advanced support, cushioning, and traction required for modern competitive basketball.

Troubleshooting
Uneven fit or discomfort
Ensure laces are properly tied, not too tight or too loose. Consider using thicker or thinner socks to adjust fit. If discomfort persists, the specific pair may not be the right fit for your foot shape.
Leather creasing excessively
Some creasing is natural with leather. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper storage when not in use. Use shoe trees to help maintain shape.
Color transfer from silver/black to socks
In rare cases, dye transfer can occur, especially when new or wet. Wear dark-colored socks initially. If it persists, a mild leather protectant spray might help, but test on an inconspicuous area first.
