Troubleshooting
Slippage during lateral movements
Ensure the laces are tightened properly to lock the heel in place and use basketball-specific socks for better friction.
Feeling too stiff out of the box
The shoes require a short break-in period; wear them for light drills or warm-ups before using them in full-intensity game situations.
Exterior scuffs or marks
Use a specialized sneaker cleaning kit or a damp microfiber cloth to gently buff out marks on the outer material.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear your standard athletic basketball socks when trying on the shoes to gauge the correct fit. As these are performance footwear, ensure you lace them securely before each game to maximize the internal support systems. For cleaning, avoid submerging the shoes in water; instead, use a soft cloth with a mild detergent solution to spot-clean the upper materials. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the cushioning foam and the vividness of the red colorway. If the shoes become wet during use, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature.
