FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running?
The adidas Novaflight 2 are designed as indoor court shoes and are optimized for lateral movements and jumps. While they offer cushioning, they are not specifically designed for the impact and mechanics of running, especially long-distance running.
What is Lightstrike cushioning?
Lightstrike is an ultra-lightweight cushioning technology developed by adidas, providing responsive feel and comfort without adding significant weight to the shoe.
How do I know if I have the correct size?
The shoe should feel snug but not tight. There should be a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure your heel is secure and does not slip excessively during movement.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
No, it is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. The harsh cycle and detergents can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning components. Hand-wash with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary.
What does 'non-marking' mean for the outsole?
A non-marking outsole means the rubber compound used will not leave scuff marks or black streaks on most indoor court surfaces, preserving the court's appearance.
How much recycled content is in these shoes?
These shoes contain at least 20% recycled content in their manufacturing, aligning with adidas's commitment to reducing environmental impact.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable on first wear.
This is common with new performance footwear. Wear the shoes for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. The materials will adapt to the shape of your foot.
Lack of traction on the court.
Ensure the Adiwear outsole is clean and free from dust or debris, which can reduce grip. Also, verify that you are on an appropriate indoor court surface, as the outsole is designed for non-marking performance.
Ankle rubbing or irritation.
Check that the laces are not tied too tightly around the ankle. Ensure the padded tongue and collar are properly positioned. If irritation persists, consider wearing thicker sports socks.
Shoes feel too tight.
Loosen the laces to provide more room. If the shoes are still too tight after adjusting the laces, they may be the wrong size. Consult the sizing chart and consider exchanging for a different size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure you tie the laces to your preferred tightness for a secure fit. It is recommended to wear them for short periods initially to allow your feet to adapt to the fit and cushioning, especially if new to the Lightstrike technology.
Compatibility: The adidas Novaflight 2 are specifically designed for indoor court surfaces like wood, synthetic, or rubberized courts. They are not recommended for outdoor use, as the outsole is optimized for non-marking grip on clean indoor floors, and outdoor elements can wear down the tread faster or impact traction.
Care: To maintain the shoes:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grime. Avoid soaking the shoes in water.
- 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.
- Laces: Remove laces for thorough cleaning if necessary. Wash them separately and ensure they are completely dry before reinserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
