Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
While the Goodyear® Performance Outsole offers durability, these trainers are primarily engineered for optimal performance and grip on indoor courts. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may reduce their lifespan and traction effectiveness.
How do I clean the HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner?
The sock liner can be removed. Hand wash it gently with mild soap and water, then allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shoe.
What is the main advantage of the carbon-infused plate?
The carbon-infused plate is designed to enhance responsiveness and provide a more explosive feel during take-offs, helping players achieve greater height and speed.
How does the mid-foot wrap contribute to performance?
The mid-foot wrap works in conjunction with the lacing system to provide a secure, locked-in feel, enhancing stability and support during lateral movements and quick cuts.
What does 'dual-density midsole' mean?
A dual-density midsole uses two different types of foam or materials with varying firmness. In this case, it likely means a combination of softer foam for cushioning and firmer foam for stability and energy return.
Are these shoes vegan?
The product description mentions 'Vegan' as a characteristic, indicating that the materials used are suitable for vegans.
What is the expected lifespan of the Goodyear® Outsole?
The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is known for its durability. However, the lifespan depends heavily on playing frequency, court surface, and playing style. Consistent indoor play will maximize its longevity.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on court.
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean and free of excessive dust or moisture.
Laces do not stay tied.
Try double-knotting the laces. If the laces are worn, consider replacing them with a new pair that offers better grip.
Shoes feel stiff during initial wear.
This is normal for performance footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape. The HYPER BURST® midsole will soften with use.
Discomfort in the mid-foot area.
Adjust the lacing to reduce pressure on the mid-foot. Ensure the mid-foot wrap is not overly tightened. Consult the sizing guide to confirm you have the correct shoe size.

These trainers are ready to wear right out of the box. Ensure the laces are tied to your preferred snugness, utilizing the lock-down heel and mid-foot wrap features for optimal support. The lacing system allows for customized tightness across the foot.
Compatibility:
Primarily designed for indoor basketball courts. The Goodyear® Performance Outsole is engineered for optimal grip on hardwood or synthetic court surfaces. Use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes in water. For the sock liner, remove and hand wash gently if necessary, then air dry completely.
- Drying: If shoes become wet, stuff them with paper towels or a dry cloth to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe bag can help protect them from dust and scratches.
