FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for playing competitive basketball?
No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by archival basketball styles and lack the technical cushioning and support needed for high-impact sports.
How should I clean the white accents?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soap and water for the synthetic leather parts, ensuring you wipe them dry immediately afterward.
Do these trainers run true to size?
Yes, they generally follow standard UK sizing for adidas adult footwear, but it is recommended to reference the sizing chart for your specific measurements.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles are generally removable, allowing you to clean them or replace them with custom orthotics if required.
Is the material waterproof?
No, the shoes are made of synthetic leather and suede, which are not waterproof and may absorb water in heavy rain.
What is the primary material used for the upper?
The upper is constructed primarily from synthetic leather with decorative soft suede overlays.
Troubleshooting
Visible dirt on suede overlays
Use a specialized dry suede brush to gently lift dirt without damaging the nap.
Creasing on the upper
Use shoe trees when not wearing the trainers to help maintain their shape and reduce stress lines.
Slippery soles in wet conditions
Ensure the rubber cupsole is kept clean and free of debris, as dried mud or grime can reduce grip on slick surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These trainers come ready to wear out of the box. To maintain their appearance, wipe down the synthetic leather upper with a damp cloth after each use. For the suede overlays, use a soft-bristled suede brush to gently remove dust and prevent buildup. Avoid submerging these shoes in water, as excessive moisture can damage the adhesive and material structure. If the interior becomes damp, remove the insoles and air dry them in a cool, ventilated area away from direct heat sources like radiators to maintain the shape and integrity of the materials.
