FAQs
What makes the SKX REIGN™ ideal for basketball?
The SKX REIGN™ is engineered with features like a carbon-infused plate for explosive movements, a superior grip Goodyear® Performance Outsole, and enhanced stability elements like a mid-foot wrap, all designed to optimize performance on the basketball court.
How does the cushioning system work?
It features a dual-density Skechers HYPER BURST® midsole for responsive cushioning and impact absorption, complemented by a resilient Skechers HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner for added comfort and energy return with each step.
Is this shoe suitable for players who need significant ankle support?
The mid-top design and lock-down heel offer increased stability. However, players requiring maximum ankle support might need to explore alternative lacing techniques or consider higher-cut models.
How should I clean my Skechers SKX REIGN™ trainers?
Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and a soft brush, then rinse with a damp cloth. Allow the shoes to air dry completely. The sock liner can be removed and hand-washed.
What is the benefit of the carbon-infused plate?
The carbon-infused plate enhances responsiveness, providing a snappier feel during take-offs and jumps, contributing to explosive movements on the court.
Are these trainers good for outdoor basketball?
These trainers are primarily designed for indoor courts. Using them outdoors can lead to premature wear of the specialized outsole designed for optimal grip on indoor surfaces.
What colors and sizes are available?
This specific guide details the Red/Black colorway in a UK Size 6. Other colorways and sizes are available in the Skechers SKX REIGN™ series.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable upon first wear.
Allow for a break-in period of 2-3 wears. Adjust lacing tension, particularly around the mid-foot wrap, to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure the heel is properly locked down without pinching.
Reduced traction on court.
Ensure the Goodyear® Performance Outsole is clean and free of dust or debris. Wipe with a damp cloth. If the issue persists after cleaning, the outsole may be worn down from extensive use.
Slipping sensation inside the shoe during play.
Tighten the laces, focusing on the mid-foot wrap and heel area. Ensure the sock liner is properly seated within the shoe. If the shoe is not the correct size, consider a different size for a more secure fit.
Cushioning feels too firm initially.
The HYPER BURST® and HYPER BURST PRO™ cushioning may feel firm before breaking in. Wear the shoes for several short sessions to allow the midsole materials to adapt to your foot and playing style.

Compatibility: Optimized for indoor basketball courts. Not recommended for outdoor use, as this can wear down the specialized outsole tread.
Care: To maintain performance and longevity:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Allow to air dry completely.
- Laces: Clean laces separately by hand with mild soap and water.
- Insoles: The HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner can be removed for separate cleaning or airing out. Hand wash gently with mild soap and air dry.
