FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball games?

The adidas Fear of God Athletics I Basketball trainers are designed with performance in mind and offer good support, making them suitable for many levels of play. However, professional players may have specific requirements based on leagues or personal preference.

How do I clean the 'Sesame Carbon' colorway?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe the surface. Avoid using detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the materials and color.

Can I wear these trainers for running?

While they offer good cushioning and support, these trainers are specifically designed for basketball movements. For dedicated running, a specialized running shoe is recommended.

What is the primary difference between these and regular adidas trainers?

The primary difference lies in the collaboration with Fear of God, which influences the design aesthetic and material choices, offering a more premium and fashion-forward look compared to standard performance trainers.

How does the sizing run for the Fear of God Athletics I?

Sizing generally runs true to standard adidas sizing. It is recommended to check available size guides and consider trying them on if possible for the best fit.

What materials are used in the construction of these trainers?

The trainers are made with premium materials, combining textile, synthetic, and potentially leather elements for durability, comfort, and a high-quality finish.

Is this model waterproof?

These trainers are not designed to be waterproof. They offer some resistance to light moisture but should not be submerged in water.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still tight, wear with thin socks initially or consider a shoe stretcher if materials allow.

Slight color transfer from black accents

This can occur with new items. Avoid prolonged contact with lighter colored clothing or surfaces until the color stabilizes. Clean with a damp cloth if transfer occurs.

Laces becoming worn

Replace laces with standard trainer laces of similar length and material. Ensure a secure tying method to prevent premature wear.

Sole feels slippery on certain surfaces

Ensure the sole is clean and free from debris. Some new shoe soles may require a brief 'break-in' period on rougher surfaces to improve grip.
