Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?

While the rubber outsole provides durability, these trainers are primarily designed for indoor basketball courts. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may accelerate wear and reduce the effectiveness of the cushioning and traction.

What is Dreamstrike cushioning?

Dreamstrike is an adidas cushioning technology designed to provide a balance of softness for impact absorption and responsiveness for quick rebounds and explosive movements on the court.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

A proper fit should feel snug but not overly tight, with about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the front of the shoe when standing. Ensure your heel does not slip significantly during movement.

What does the #5 and "Believe That" represent?

These elements are inspired by Anthony Edwards' personal journey and career. The #5 is a recurring motif in his entrepreneurial ventures and basketball program, while "Believe That" is his personal mantra.

Can these shoes be used for other sports besides basketball?

These trainers are optimized for basketball's specific movements like jumping, cutting, and quick stops. While they can be worn for general athletic activities, they may not provide the specialized support needed for sports with different demands.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of textile and synthetic materials, featuring textured overlays for added protection and structure.

How should I store my trainers to prolong their life?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Ensure they are clean and dry before storing. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of them.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or stiff

The textile-synthetic upper may require a break-in period. Wear them for short periods initially, gradually increasing the duration. Wearing thicker athletic socks can also help stretch the material slightly during this phase.

Traction seems reduced on court

Ensure the rubber outsole is clean. Dust and debris can accumulate in the treads, reducing grip. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth and allow it to dry thoroughly before use.

Cushioning feels unresponsive

The Dreamstrike cushioning may take a few wearings to reach its optimal responsiveness. Continue using the shoes for their intended purpose. If issues persist after a break-in period, ensure no foreign objects are trapped within the sole.

Signs of wear on the upper overlays

Inspect the textured overlays for any peeling or damage. Clean gently with a damp cloth. Minor scuffs are normal during play; significant damage might indicate excessive wear or an underlying material issue.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and performance. It is recommended to wear athletic socks when using these shoes for comfort and to prevent potential friction during the break-in period.

Compatibility:

Designed primarily for indoor basketball courts, these trainers offer excellent traction and support on polished wood surfaces. While they can be worn for casual use, their specialized design is best utilized for athletic activities.

Care:

To maintain the performance and appearance of your adidas Believe That 1 trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the textile and synthetic materials with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as they can damage the materials.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth to clean the rubber components. Remove any mud or debris from the outsole treads.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources such as radiators or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can cause materials to degrade or warp.
  4. Storage: Store the trainers in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in damp conditions or under heavy weight that could deform their shape.
