Troubleshooting

Foot slippage inside the shoe

Ensure laces are tied securely, utilizing all eyelets. Consider using aftermarket insoles for a snugger fit if the issue persists.

Reduced traction on court

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry.

Discomfort or rubbing during initial wear

This is common with performance footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods to allow them to break in. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear basketball shoes. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal performance and comfort. It is recommended to wear athletic socks when using them for the first time to gauge the fit and identify any potential friction points during initial wear.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for adult male basketball players. While suitable for general athletic training, their specific design focus is on court performance. They are compatible with standard athletic wear.

Care: To maintain the 'Fade to Black' appearance and material integrity:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove loose dirt and dust after each use. For deeper cleaning, use a mild soap and water solution with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading and material degradation. Using a shoe bag can offer additional protection.
