FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
The SKX REIGN trainers are primarily designed for indoor courts. The Goodyear® Performance Outsole offers excellent grip on clean indoor surfaces. While they might offer some traction outdoors, the materials may wear down faster, and performance could be compromised on rougher surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
The shoes should feel snug and secure, especially around the heel and mid-foot. There should be a little room in the toe box, but your foot should not slide forward when you stop or change direction. Ensure the comfort collar and heel lock provide a supportive fit without causing pressure points.
What is the benefit of the carbon-infused plate?
The carbon-infused plate is designed to increase the rigidity of the midsole, which helps to convert your energy into explosive power during jumps and sprints. It aids in a quicker take-off and provides a more propulsive feel.
Are these shoes vegan?
Yes, the product description indicates that these shoes are vegan.
How does the HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner differ from the HYPER BURST® midsole?
The HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner provides an initial layer of plush comfort directly against the foot. The dual-density HYPER BURST® midsole is the primary cushioning system underneath, designed to absorb impact and provide energy return with each step.
What is the advantage of the mid-top design?
The mid-top design, along with the integrated heel lock and mid-foot wrap, offers enhanced ankle support and stability compared to low-top shoes. This can help reduce the risk of ankle injuries during quick lateral movements and hard landings.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone frequently.
Ensure you are using a secure knot. Double-knotting the laces can also help prevent them from loosening during play.
Shoes feel too tight or restrictive.
Loosen the laces, especially around the mid-foot wrap. Wear the shoes for shorter periods initially to allow them to break in. Ensure you have the correct size; consider trying a half-size larger if the issue persists.
Reduced traction on the court.
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may have accumulated. Ensure the court surface is also clean.
Discomfort after prolonged use.
The HYPER BURST® midsole and PRO™ sock liner may require a break-in period. Ensure proper lacing technique to distribute pressure evenly. If discomfort persists, check for proper sizing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor basketball courts. Performance may vary on outdoor courts or other surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Exterior: Wipe the trainers with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Interior: Remove the sock liner and air it out separately. For stubborn odors, a mild fabric cleaner can be used sparingly on the sock liner, followed by thorough air drying.
- Drying: If the trainers become wet, stuff them with dry paper or cloth and allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can degrade the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
