FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
These shoes are primarily designed for indoor courts. While they can be worn outdoors, the outsole may wear down faster on abrasive surfaces.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is a snug fit around the midfoot and heel, with enough room in the toe box for your toes to wiggle slightly. Your heel should not lift excessively during movement.
What is the main advantage of the low-top design?
The low-top design offers enhanced ankle mobility, allowing for quicker and more explosive movements on the court.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary, but most users find them comfortable after 2-4 playing sessions.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the shoe's materials and structure. Hand clean with a soft brush and mild soap.
What color is this specific model?
This model features a 'Pink' color family with 'Yellow' as a secondary color, often referred to as the 'Orchid' colorway.
Troubleshooting
Slipping during play
Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. Check that laces are securely tied for a snug fit.
Discomfort after first use
The shoes may need a break-in period. Wear them for shorter durations and gradually increase playing time.
Traction loss on dusty courts
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth periodically during play to remove dust buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes come ready to wear. For optimal fit, ensure laces are adjusted to provide a snug but not constricting feel. If the shoes feel stiff initially, wearing them for short periods indoors can help break them in.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for indoor basketball courts. Use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may accelerate wear.
Care: To clean, use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt. For tougher spots, a mild soap and water solution can be applied with a damp cloth. Avoid machine washing or harsh detergents. Allow shoes to air dry completely away from direct heat sources.
