FAQs
What type of player is the Skechers SKX REIGN designed for?
The SKX REIGN is engineered for adult male basketball players who prioritize a quick first step, speed, and intense on-court traction, with an emphasis on stability.
What makes the traction on these trainers superior?
The superior traction is provided by the Goodyear® Performance Outsole, which is specifically designed for grip and durability on basketball courts.
How does the shoe help with explosive movements?
The inclusion of a carbon-infused plate is designed to enhance take-offs, providing an extra boost for explosive movements like jumping and sprinting.
What is the benefit of the HYPER BURST® midsole and HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner?
These technologies provide advanced cushioning, offering comfort and responsiveness during play, while the PRO™ sock liner adds an extra layer of resilience.
Is the mid-top design restrictive?
The mid-top design, along with the lock-down heel and mid-foot wrap, is intended to provide enhanced stability. Whether it feels restrictive depends on individual player preference; some may prefer a lower-cut shoe.
How should I clean my SKX REIGN trainers?
Spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing or soaking the shoes.

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces, especially around the mid-foot wrap area. Wear with athletic socks and allow for a short break-in period. If the tightness persists, consider if this specific size is appropriate.
Reduced traction on court
Clean the outsole to remove any dust, dirt, or debris that may be hindering grip. Ensure the court surface is also clean.
Discomfort in the midsole
Ensure the shoes are laced correctly to allow the HYPER BURST® midsole and PRO™ sock liner to function as intended. The cushioning may require a brief break-in period.
Heel slippage
Tighten the laces to engage the lock-down heel feature more effectively. Ensure you are wearing appropriate socks. Check if the shoe size is correct for your foot.
