Wipe the upper with a damp cloth and use mild soap and water for the midsole and outsole. Always air dry and avoid direct heat.

The black wraparound TPU Swoosh adds a stylish element and provides enhanced lateral support and stability.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, the shoe may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction is poor
Clean the outsole to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. For persistent issues, consider professional cleaning solutions for athletic shoes.
Cushioning feels stiff
The Zoom Air unit and foam midsole may need a break-in period. Wear the shoes during light activity to allow them to conform to your foot.
Materials appear to be scuffing easily
The leather and mesh are designed for durability but can show wear with intense use. Gentle cleaning can help maintain appearance. Avoid abrasive surfaces.

Care Instructions:
- Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and mesh upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that could damage the materials.
- Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or cloth with mild soap and water to clean the foam midsole and rubber outsole. Remove any dirt or debris.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources, such as radiators or in a dryer, as this can warp or damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shoe's shape.
