Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may be affecting grip. Ensure you are playing on a clean court surface.
Materials appear discolored or stained

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready-to-wear trainers. Ensure they are laced securely for a comfortable and supportive fit before engaging in any athletic activity.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for basketball and athletic training. While stylish, their performance-oriented features mean they are best suited for sports rather than extended periods of casual walking.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of your Harden Vol. 8 trainers:
- Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt and debris from the mesh and synthetic surfaces. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
