FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
The Skechers SKX REIGN trainers are engineered with a Goodyear® Performance Outsole optimized for indoor hardwood courts. While they may offer some grip on other surfaces, their durability and traction are best preserved on standard indoor basketball courts.
How do I clean the HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner?
The sock liner can be removed for cleaning. Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Allow it to air dry completely before reinserting it into the shoe.
What is the benefit of the carbon-infused plate?
The carbon-infused plate is designed to provide enhanced stiffness and responsiveness, contributing to more explosive take-offs and a springier feel during jumps and sprints on the basketball court.
Is this shoe vegan?
Yes, the product description indicates the materials used are vegan.
How does the mid-foot wrap enhance performance?
The mid-foot wrap is integrated into the lacing system to provide a secure, locked-in feel around the mid-section of the foot. This enhances stability during lateral movements and quick changes in direction.
What is the main difference between HYPER BURST® and HYPER BURST PRO™?
HYPER BURST® is Skechers' responsive, ultra-lightweight cushioning midsole. HYPER BURST PRO™ refers to a more resilient sock liner, providing an additional layer of responsive comfort and support directly underfoot.
Can I replace the laces if they get worn out?
Yes, standard shoelaces can be used for replacement. Ensure the length is appropriate for the number of eyelets on the trainers.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.
This is common with performance footwear. Wear them for short periods initially, allowing the materials to adapt to your foot shape. Ensure laces are not overtightened. The HYPER BURST® midsole and PRO sock liner will conform over time.
Reduced traction on the court.
Check the Goodyear® Performance Outsole for embedded debris. Clean the outsole with a damp cloth. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry, as excessive dust or moisture can impact grip.
Ankle feels unsupported.
Re-lace the shoes, paying attention to the mid-foot wrap and lock-down heel for a secure fit. Ensure the laces are tightened evenly to provide optimal support without discomfort.
Cushioning feels too firm initially.
The dual-density HYPER BURST® midsole is designed for responsiveness. It may feel firmer at first but will soften slightly with use as it breaks in. Continue wearing them for short durations to allow the cushioning to adapt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to lace them up to your preferred tightness using the standard lacing system, ensuring the comfort collar and lock-down heel provide a snug fit without restricting circulation. The mid-foot wrap should feel supportive but not constricting.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor basketball courts, these trainers offer optimal performance on standard hardwood surfaces. Their traction pattern is engineered to adhere to these conditions.
Care: To maintain the longevity and performance of your SKX REIGN trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Insoles: If removable, the insoles can be taken out for separate cleaning or airing.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
