FAQs
How do I activate the glow-in-the-dark feature?
The glow-in-the-dark outsole absorbs light naturally. For the best glow effect, expose the shoes to a bright light source (like sunlight or a strong lamp) for a few minutes before playing in low-light conditions.
What is the primary benefit of the Cushlon 3.0 foam?
Cushlon 3.0 foam provides a balance of soft cushioning for impact protection and responsiveness for energy return, supporting quick movements on the court.
Is the "Night Shift" edition suitable for outdoor courts?
Yes, the multidirectional outsole offers good traction on various court surfaces, including outdoor ones. However, excessive wear on abrasive outdoor courts may affect longevity.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight. Your heel should not slip excessively, and your toes should have a little room to move without hitting the front of the shoe. The internal cage provides a secure fit.
What does the "internal molded cage" do?
The internal molded cage is designed to wrap around your midfoot, providing a secure, locked-in feel that enhances stability and support during lateral movements and cuts.
Can I wear these casually?
While designed for performance basketball, their unique aesthetic and comfort make them suitable for casual wear. However, prolonged casual wear on abrasive surfaces might impact their basketball performance capabilities.
Troubleshooting
Reduced glow effect
Expose the outsole to a bright light source for a few minutes to 'recharge' the glow-in-the-dark material. Consistent exposure to light is needed for optimal glow.
Foot feels unstable
Ensure the laces are properly tied and the internal molded cage is snug around your foot. Adjust lacing for a more secure fit.
Traction is poor on a specific surface
Clean the outsole to remove any dust or debris that may be affecting grip. The multidirectional pattern is designed for most court surfaces, but extreme conditions may vary.
Discomfort during first few uses
This is potentially a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially and gradually increase duration. Ensure you have the correct size.

- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the upper and outsole. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents.
