FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?

These trainers are primarily designed for indoor courts. The outsole materials may wear down more quickly on abrasive outdoor surfaces, and traction might be less effective.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by Adidas and measure your foot length. Basketball shoes often have a snug fit, so consider if you prefer a tighter or slightly looser feel during play.

Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?

No, machine washing is not recommended. Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, and air dry only.

What is the main advantage of the Boost cushioning?

Boost cushioning provides exceptional energy return, absorbing impact and returning energy with each step, jump, or cut, contributing to comfort and performance.

How durable is the synthetic upper?

The synthetic upper is designed to be durable and resilient, offering support during intense athletic movements while resisting wear and tear common in basketball.

What makes the lacing system 'improved'?

The improved lacing system is designed to offer a more secure and adaptable lockdown, ensuring the foot stays firmly in place during dynamic on-court actions.

What other colors or sizes are available?

This model, the Pro Bounce 2018, comes in various colorways and sizes. Please check the product listings for available options.

Troubleshooting

Laces come undone frequently.

Ensure laces are tied tightly with a secure knot. Consider using a double knot or replacing laces with ones that offer better grip.

Slightly tight fit upon first wear.

This is normal for performance basketball shoes. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Reduced traction on dusty courts.

Wipe down the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Some players use a small amount of sticky grip spray specifically designed for basketball shoes.

Foot fatigue after long use.

Ensure proper lacing technique for balanced support. Consider using aftermarket insoles if additional arch support is needed, though the built-in Boost cushioning is generally sufficient.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return from Boost cushioning.
  • Secure and adaptive fit through the lacing system.
  • Durable synthetic construction for longevity.
  • Designed for superior on-court traction.
  • Comfortable for extended wear during games and practice.

Cons

  • May fit narrower than expected for some foot types.
  • Specific care required to maintain performance materials.
  • Primarily designed for basketball, limiting versatility for other sports.
  • Laces may require re-tying during intense play for some users.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers come ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably by adjusting the laces. For optimal performance, it is recommended to break them in during a light practice session before a competitive game.

Compatibility: Designed specifically for indoor basketball courts. While they offer good traction, they may not be ideal for outdoor surfaces or other athletic activities requiring different types of support and durability.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to gently clean the synthetic upper and midsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing, as this can damage the materials and cushioning.
  2. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or prolonged sunlight, which can degrade the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp conditions or under heavy objects that could deform their shape.
