Product Information

Full details

The Adidas Believe That 1 trainers are designed for aspiring basketball players looking for performance-driven footwear without a premium price tag. They offer excellent cushioning for impact absorption and energetic rebounds, coupled with a supportive and flexible upper. A potential drawback is that the "One Love" colorway is a re-release, meaning availability might be limited to those who missed the initial drop. Key features include Dreamstrike cushioning, a durable textile-synthetic upper with protective overlays, and unique 'AE5' branding details.

FAQs

What type of cushioning does the Believe That 1 use?

The Believe That 1 features Dreamstrike cushioning, designed for soft landings and responsive rebounds.

What is the "One Love" colorway?

The "One Love" colorway is a re-release of a popular color scheme from 2023, featuring Acid Orange, Acid Red, and Black, offering another chance to purchase this sought-after look.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?

While they have a durable construction, they are primarily designed for indoor basketball courts. Prolonged outdoor use may lead to accelerated wear.

How should I clean my Believe That 1 trainers?

Clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap sparingly with a damp cloth, then wipe with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners and machine washing.

What does the 'AE5' branding signify?

The 'AE5' branding is a nod to Anthony Edwards' signature style, represented by design elements like the five cut-outs in the shoe's side panel.

Is this shoe designed for a specific player type?

These shoes are designed for aspiring players seeking elite performance features at a more accessible price point, offering a balance of cushioning, support, and flexibility.

What is the primary benefit of the textile-synthetic upper?

The textile-synthetic upper provides a functional, protective, and flexible fit, ensuring comfort and support during athletic movements.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If new, wear them for short periods indoors to allow the materials to break in. Lacing techniques can also be adjusted for a more personalized fit.

Cushioning feels stiff initially

The Dreamstrike cushioning may require a short break-in period. Wear the shoes for a few practice sessions to allow the cushioning to soften and adapt to your foot.

Traction seems poor on certain courts

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. For optimal grip, periodically wipe the soles with a damp cloth. Traction may vary based on court surface conditions.

Materials show signs of premature wear

Ensure the shoes are being used for their intended purpose (basketball) and not on excessively abrasive surfaces. Follow the care instructions to maintain material condition.

  • May not offer the same level of advanced technology found in higher-tier signature shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you select the correct size for optimal fit and performance. It is recommended to try them on indoors before extensive use to confirm comfort and fit.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor basketball court surfaces. While the durable construction allows for some outdoor use, prolonged exposure to abrasive surfaces may accelerate wear. Not intended for use in other sports or activities that place different stresses on footwear.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe down the exterior. For stubborn dirt, a mild soap can be applied sparingly with a damp cloth, followed by wiping with a clean, dry cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to maintain material integrity.
