FAQs
What is the main advantage of the UA Flow outsole?
The UA Flow outsole provides exceptional court feel and traction, allowing for quick movements and confident cuts without a traditional rubber outsole, making the shoe lighter and more responsive.
How does the UA HOVR+ midsole contribute to performance?
The UA HOVR+ midsole offers a lighter, softer feel compared to traditional foams, providing superior energy return that helps reduce fatigue and enhance athletic performance during play.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The shoe features a supportive wrap around the foot, but the fit is generally considered standard. It's recommended to try them on if you have significantly wide feet, as individual comfort can vary.
How do I clean the breathable mesh upper?
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the mesh. Avoid machine washing or excessive soaking to maintain the material's integrity.
What is the expected lifespan of these basketball shoes?
The lifespan depends on usage intensity and court conditions. With proper care and regular rotation, they are designed to withstand rigorous basketball play for a considerable period.
Can these shoes be used for outdoor basketball?
These shoes are optimized for indoor courts. While they might offer some durability outdoors, the UA Flow outsole is not designed for abrasive outdoor surfaces, and traction may be compromised.
What is the weight of a single shoe?
The approximate weight of a single shoe is 12.4 ounces (based on a Men's size 9).
Troubleshooting
Traction feels reduced on court.
Ensure the court surface is clean and dry. Gently wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust or debris, then allow to air dry.
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable.
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring an even distribution of pressure. The internal materials may require a short break-in period.
Upper appears dirty.
Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently clean the textile upper. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
Reduced cushioning feel over time.
While the UA HOVR+ midsole is durable, prolonged heavy use can impact its responsiveness. Ensure the shoes are properly cared for to maximize their lifespan. Consider rotating with another pair if used very frequently.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are laced to your preferred tightness using the standard tie lacing system for a secure fit. The internal construction is designed for immediate comfort.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for indoor basketball courts. The UA Flow outsole offers optimal traction on clean, dry court surfaces. Compatibility with outdoor courts or dusty indoor environments may be reduced.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow the 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 to preserve the integrity of the materials and cushioning.
