FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The interior knit bootie is designed for a snug, secure fit. Users with very wide feet may find them restrictive and may need to go half a size up.
Can I wear these shoes outdoors?
While the rubber outsole is durable, these are primarily designed for indoor basketball court use; frequent outdoor use may wear down the traction pattern faster.
What is the primary difference between LightStrike and Boost?
LightStrike is used in the forefoot for lightweight responsiveness, while Jet Boost is in the heel for maximum impact cushioning and energy return.
Do I need to break in the shoes?
Yes, it is recommended to wear them for a few light sessions to allow the materials and the knit bootie to mold to your foot before high-intensity play.
How should I clean the suede toe cap?
Use a dedicated suede brush to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the suede in water, as this can damage the material.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight around the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system completely, then re-tie starting from the bottom to allow the knit bootie to expand and accommodate your foot shape.
Traction performance has decreased
Use a damp cloth or a specialized rubber cleaner to remove dust and court debris from the herringbone tread pattern.
Difficulty putting on the shoe
The interior knit bootie creates a tight opening; use a shoe horn or pull the heel tab firmly while pushing your foot in to avoid straining the fabric.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, wear performance-grade basketball socks to complement the interior bootie fit. The shoes are true to size for most users, but the internal construction means they will feel snug upon first wear. To maintain the life of your sneakers, avoid machine washing; instead, use a soft-bristled brush with a mild soap solution to clean the textile upper and wipe the suede toe cap gently. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent foam degradation and leather/suede discoloration. Ensure the laces are adjusted to provide a custom tension that matches your arch support needs.
