FAQs

What material is the upper made of?

The upper is constructed from a combination of black nubuck and white leather overlays.

What type of cushioning does this shoe feature?

It features Hexalite cushioning, known for its impact absorption.

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.

What is the main benefit of the low-top design?

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.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: For the nubuck and leather upper, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Avoid excessive water.
  2. Suede/Nubuck Care: For the nubuck portions, specialized suede cleaners can be used for tougher marks. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.
  3. Lining and Insoles: Allow shoes to air dry naturally after use. Remove insoles to dry separately if they become damp.
  4. Outsole: Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any court debris.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape.
