FAQs
What makes the adidas Fear of God Athletics I Basketball special?
It's a collaboration merging adidas's athletic heritage with Fear of God's luxury fashion sensibility, featuring unique materials and design elements like the oversized 3-Stripes and sock-like ankle.
How does the 'Clay' color hold up to dirt?
The light 'Clay' color may show dirt more readily than darker shades. Regular spot cleaning with a damp cloth is advised to maintain its appearance.
Is this shoe suitable for professional basketball games?
While inspired by basketball, its primary design focus is fashion and comfort. For professional competitive play, specialized performance basketball shoes might be more appropriate.
What is the main material of the shoe?
The shoe features a textile base, a neoprene layer over the toe box and sides, and a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) overlay for the 3-Stripes.
How should I clean the neoprene and TPU parts?
Gently wipe with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this can damage the materials. Use a specialized sneaker cleaner if necessary.
What does the 'Fear of God' patch on the heel signify?
The patch is a design element indicating the collaboration between Fear of God and adidas, highlighting the premium and fashion-oriented nature of the shoe.
Does this shoe come in other colors?
Yes, sibling models include variations in colors like 'Carbon' (Black/White) and potentially other neutral tones.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Wear with thinner socks or consider using a shoe stretcher for a short period. The neoprene and textile construction may offer some give over time with wear.
Discoloration on the 'Clay' upper
Gently clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a specialized sneaker cleaner designed for mixed materials, testing on an inconspicuous area first.
Slight odor developing
Ensure shoes are dry before storing. Use cedar shoe trees to absorb moisture and odor. Sprinkle baking soda inside the shoes overnight and then shake out.
