FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
Yes, the durable leather upper and multidirectional tread pattern are designed to handle the rigors of various court surfaces, though regular cleaning is recommended for longevity.
Does the Nike PG 6 run true to size?
Most users find the fit to be true to size, but the leather material offers a firm, lockdown feel that may feel slightly snug if you prefer a wide toe box.
How do I care for the leather upper?
Use a damp cloth for surface dirt and apply a leather-safe conditioner periodically to keep the material supple.
Can I use these for running?
These are optimized specifically for basketball movements; they lack the specific heel-to-toe transition support required for long-distance running.
What is the primary material of the shoe?
The exterior features high-quality leather, which provides a balance of durability, protection, and structural stability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during the first wear
The leather upper requires a short break-in period. Loosen the laces initially and wear for shorter durations until the material softens.
Traction becomes slippery on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole frequently with a damp towel during use to remove dust buildup from the tread pattern.
Metallic gold accents look dull
Gently buff the gold sections with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to restore the shine after cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike PG 6 trainers last, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear your trainers for short sessions during the first week to allow the leather to naturally contour to your foot shape.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush and mild soap to remove dust from the leather upper. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the adhesive and the metallic gold accents.
- Storage: Keep your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the leather from cracking or discolouring.
- Fit: Ensure you are wearing performance basketball socks to optimize the fit, as the padding in these shoes is designed for a snug, lockdown feel.
