FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for basketball practice?

While inspired by basketball, these are designed as lifestyle trainers. They are perfect for school and casual play, but may not offer the specific technical performance required for competitive basketball.

How do I determine if size 5 UK is right?

Size 5 UK is generally intended for growing children. It is recommended to measure the foot in the afternoon when it is at its largest and ensure there is about 1cm of space at the front.

Can these be machine washed?

Machine washing is generally discouraged as it can damage the adhesives and synthetic materials. Hand cleaning is the best method to maintain longevity.

Are the trainers unisex?

Yes, these trainers feature a neutral design that is suitable for all genders.

Does the white finish turn yellow?

If exposed to excessive sunlight or harsh chemicals, white synthetic materials can discolour. Keeping them stored in a cool, dark place when not in use helps preserve the color.

Troubleshooting

Shoes are scuffing easily

Apply a protective sneaker spray to the white surface to make it easier to wipe away marks.

Laces coming untied frequently

Double-knot the laces or replace them with slightly textured laces that provide more friction.

Odour buildup inside the trainer

Remove the insoles if possible and sprinkle a small amount of sneaker powder inside after use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile design suitable for both school and leisure activities
  • Durable construction handles daily wear and tear well
  • Provides good ankle support via the padded collar
  • Excellent traction from the rubber outsole

Cons

  • White colorway shows dirt and scuffs more easily
  • Requires manual lace-tying, which may be difficult for younger children
  • Limited to synthetic/standard materials rather than premium leather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these care instructions:

  1. Routine Cleaning: Wipe down the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth after each use to prevent dust buildup.
  2. Stubborn Marks: Use a mild soap solution and a soft-bristled brush to gently scrub scuffs on the white exterior.
  3. Drying: Always air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent the material from cracking or warping.
  4. Laces: If the laces become frayed or excessively dirty, they can be removed and hand-washed with gentle detergent.
  5. Fit Check: Ensure the size 5 UK fit allows for a small amount of space at the toes to accommodate natural foot growth.
