Product Information
Full details
The K-SWISS Hypercourt Supreme 2 is designed specifically for competitive tennis players who require a lightweight, agile shoe that thrives on clay surfaces. Its primary strength lies in the combination of reactive cushioning and a specialized outsole that provides excellent grip and controlled sliding. While the shoe offers exceptional performance for clay court specialists, it is important to note that the outsole pattern is optimized specifically for clay and may not offer the same longevity or traction on hard-court surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use these shoes on hard courts?
While you can technically wear them on hard courts, the herringbone tread and rubber compound are specifically designed for clay. They will wear down significantly faster on hard surfaces.
How should I clean the white upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with warm water and a small amount of mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemical cleaners.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard athletic shoe sizing. If you have a wider foot, you may find the snug bootie fit slightly restrictive.
What is the benefit of the Shock Spring technology?
It provides additional cushioning in the forefoot, which helps with energy return and reduces impact stress during quick sprints.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the internal insoles can be removed if you need to use custom orthotics or medical-grade inserts.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first wear
The internal bootie construction is designed for a performance fit. Try wearing thinner socks initially or loosening the laces near the collar to allow for more volume.
Clay buildup on the outsole affects traction
Use a stiff brush to clear the debris from the herringbone grooves after play to ensure the rubber maintains maximum surface contact.

- Purpose-built herringbone tread for superior clay court performance

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, wear your performance tennis socks when trying on the shoes for the first time, as the bootie construction is designed to fit closely against the foot. These shoes are explicitly designed for clay court surfaces; using them on concrete or acrylic hard courts will drastically reduce the lifespan of the rubber outsole. To care for your Hypercourt Supreme 2, remove loose clay from the tread after each match using a soft-bristled brush. If the uppers get dirty, wipe them down with a damp cloth and mild soap. Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, which can damage the foam midsole materials.
