Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?

Troubleshooting
Squeaking noise when walking
This can sometimes occur with new leather or foam. Try walking on different surfaces or wearing them for an extended period to allow them to break in. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly.
Minor scuffs on leather
Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for athletic footwear. Apply a small amount to a soft cloth and gently rub the affected area. For deeper scuffs, a professional shoe repair service might be necessary.
Discomfort during initial wear
The shoes may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure the correct size is being worn.
Color transfer from dark socks
This is more common with new, dark-dyed materials. It is recommended to wear white or light-colored socks initially. If color transfer occurs, follow leather cleaning instructions.
