FAQs
Is the adidas Fear of God Athletics '86 Hi suitable for basketball?
While inspired by basketball designs, this model is positioned as a lifestyle sneaker and not intended for competitive sports.
How do I clean the suede material?
Use a dry suede brush to remove surface debris and a suede-safe eraser for minor scuffs.
What is the fit of the '86 Hi?
The fit is consistent with standard adidas sizing; if you prefer a roomier feel, consider the specific sizing of the model you purchased.
Can I wear these in the rain?
It is not recommended, as water can stain and damage the suede material.
Are the insoles removable?
The insoles are designed for comfort and can typically be removed, though they are optimized for the shoe's specific cushioning setup.
How do I store the sneakers to maintain their shape?
Store them in a cool, dry place and use a shoe tree or acid-free paper to help the silhouette hold its shape.
Troubleshooting
Visible water or dirt spots on suede
Use a specialized suede brush to gently lift dirt; avoid liquid cleaners unless specifically rated for suede.
Creasing at the toe box
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the shoes to maintain the structure and minimize deep creases.
Laces becoming undone
Since these are high-top sneakers, ensure you use a double knot or ensure the laces are tightened firmly through the top eyelets for a secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your shoes last, follow these guidelines. For setup, loosen the laces completely before your first wear to ensure a comfortable entry into the high-top structure. In terms of care, invest in a quality suede cleaning kit featuring a brush and a cleaning solution specific to delicate leathers. Never submerge these shoes in water or place them in a washing machine, as this will irreparably damage the suede texture. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent the material from cracking.
