FAQs
What does 'Boost cushioning' mean for performance?
Boost cushioning is an advanced midsole technology that provides exceptional energy return, absorbing impact and converting it into responsive energy for your next movement. This helps reduce fatigue and improve agility on the court.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?
These trainers are specifically designed with a non-marking rubber outsole optimized for indoor courts. While they can be worn outdoors, the outsole may wear down faster, and traction might be less effective on abrasive surfaces.
How do I ensure I order the correct size?
Please refer to the UK sizing guide provided. Be aware that the shoe box or internal label might display US or European sizing, which can differ. It is best to confirm your UK size before purchasing.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and adhesives. Hand-wash gently with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What is the primary benefit of the mesh upper?
The mesh upper provides excellent breathability, allowing air to circulate freely around your feet. This helps to keep your feet cool and dry during intense activity, enhancing overall comfort.
How durable are these trainers?
Constructed with a combination of synthetic and textile materials, these trainers are built for durability during regular basketball play. The reinforced areas and robust sole contribute to their longevity.
Troubleshooting
Sizing is incorrect upon arrival.
Check the UK size indicated on the product tag or inside the shoe. Compare this to your order. If there's a discrepancy, note that box or label sizes may differ (e.g., US/Euro vs. UK).
Discomfort during initial wear.
Basketball trainers often require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted for a snug but not overly tight fit.
Traction seems poor on the court.
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free of dust or debris. If the court surface is particularly dusty, wiping the soles occasionally can help restore grip.
Feet feel too hot during play.
The breathable mesh upper is designed for airflow. Ensure laces are not tied too tightly, which can restrict air circulation. Allow shoes to air out thoroughly after each use.

Care Instructions:
