Is this shoe suitable for outdoor basketball?
While durable, these shoes are best suited for indoor court play. Outdoor surfaces can cause premature wear.
How do I clean the nubuck parts of the shoe?
Use a soft brush to remove dry dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains, always testing in a hidden area first.

The low-top design provides increased ankle mobility for quick movements.
Are these shoes true to size?
Sizing can vary. It's recommended to check a size guide and consider trying them on if possible for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight
Loosen the laces and try re-lacing them, ensuring they are not tied too tightly. If the issue persists, consider if the size is appropriate or if a break-in period is needed.
Reduced traction on court
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure you are playing on a clean court surface.
Squeaking noise during movement
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a few more sessions to allow them to break in. Ensure socks are dry.
