FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Novaflight 2 features a regular fit. While the textile upper offers some flexibility, individuals with significantly wide feet might find them snug. Trying them on or checking customer reviews regarding fit is recommended.
How do I clean the textile upper?
Gently brush off loose dirt with a soft brush. For stains, use a mild soap mixed with water and a soft cloth or sponge. Avoid soaking the shoes.
What is Lightstrike cushioning?
Lightstrike is adidas's latest cushioning technology, designed to be extremely lightweight and responsive, providing comfort and speed without adding bulk.
Can I wear these for running or cross-training?
These shoes are specifically designed for indoor court sports. Their construction and cushioning are optimized for lateral movements and quick changes of direction, not for the repetitive impact of running or the varied demands of cross-training.
Do they run true to size?
Generally, adidas trainers are known to run true to size. However, individual fit can vary. It's always advisable to consult size charts and consider reviews for specific feedback on sizing.
What does 'non-marking' outsole mean?
A non-marking outsole means the rubber compound used will not leave scuff marks or streaks on indoor court surfaces, preserving the court's appearance.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
The shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in the upper, contributing to adidas's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight after initial wear.
Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow the materials to stretch and conform to your feet. Ensure laces are not overtightened.
Slipping inside the shoe.
Adjust the lacing to ensure a secure fit around the ankle and midfoot. Consider using athletic insoles if additional support or grip is needed.
Traction on court is poor.
Ensure the Adiwear outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth if necessary. The shoe's grip may diminish on exceptionally dusty surfaces.
Discomfort during landings.
Verify the lacing is correct and the Lightstrike cushioning is properly aligned. Allow for a break-in period, as cushioning can improve with use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure the laces are adjusted for a snug but comfortable fit, securing the foot without restricting circulation. A proper lacing technique can maximize ankle support and prevent slippage.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor court surfaces such as wood or synthetic gym floors. They are not recommended for outdoor use or rough terrains, as this can damage the outsole and compromise performance.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with newspaper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or their original box to protect them from dust and damage.
