How do I clean the clay-colored textile?
Clean the textile gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to prevent discoloration.

While they offer good support and comfort, they are primarily designed as a lifestyle and fashion sneaker. For professional basketball, specialized performance footwear is recommended.
What does the '3-Stripes' refer to on the shoe?

How does the fit feel around the ankle?
The shoe is designed with a sock-like fit at the ankle, providing a snug and comfortable feel.
What is the purpose of the pull tab at the heel?

Where is the Fear of God branding located?
A Fear of God patch is incorporated into the midsole at the back of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Tight fit on first wear.
The neoprene and sock-like construction may require a brief break-in period. Wear them around the house for short durations to allow the materials to adapt to your foot shape.
Scuff marks on the thermoplastic polyurethane 3-Stripes.
Gently wipe the affected area with a damp cloth. For more persistent marks, a melamine foam eraser can be used with care.
Discoloration of the clay textile.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or abrasive surfaces. Clean gently with a slightly damp cloth and allow to air dry.
Difficulty pulling the shoe on.
Utilize the heel pull tab. Ensure the sock-like collar is fully stretched out before inserting your foot.
