Product Information

Full details

For adult males seeking a retro basketball-inspired sneaker with classic aesthetics and performance cushioning, the Reebok Hurrikaze II Low OG offers a blend of aggressive design and comfort. While it provides a stylish option for casual wear and light court play, its retro design might not offer the advanced support found in modern performance footwear. This shoe revives a hoops classic, featuring a black nubuck upper with striking white leather overlays, and Hexalite cushioning for responsive impact absorption.

FAQs

What is Hexalite cushioning?

Hexalite is an impact-absorption technology developed by Reebok, designed to provide cushioning and comfort, particularly in athletic footwear.

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage and offering decent cushioning, these are a retro reissue. For professional play, modern performance basketball shoes with advanced support and stability features are generally recommended.

What is the primary material of the upper?

The upper primarily features black nubuck with white leather overlays.

How do I find my correct shoe size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart and measure your foot length. This model is listed with UK sizing.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

The nubuck and leather materials are not waterproof. It is advisable to avoid wearing them in heavy rain or wet conditions to prevent damage and staining.

What does 'OG' stand for in the product name?

OG typically stands for 'Original', indicating that this is a reissue or retro version of the original design.

How does the sizing compare to other brands?

Sizing can vary between brands. It is best to consult the Reebok sizing guide for the most accurate fit, especially for international size conversions.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels tight or uncomfortable.

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for short periods. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if needed.

White leather overlays appear dirty.

Gently wipe the leather with a damp cloth and mild soap. For stubborn marks, use a leather cleaner specifically designed for white leather.

Nubuck material looks scuffed.

Use a suede brush to gently lift and restore the nap of the nubuck. For deeper scuffs, a nubuck eraser or cleaner might be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are ready-to-wear shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size before purchase.

Compatibility: Designed for adult males, suitable for general athletic use and casual wear. Not specifically engineered for elite-level competitive sports.

Care:

  1. Cleaning Nubuck: Use a suede brush or a dry cloth to remove loose dirt. For tougher stains, a specialized nubuck cleaner can be applied sparingly with a damp cloth, followed by air drying.
  2. Cleaning Leather Overlays: Wipe with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive moisture.
  3. Soles: Clean with a damp cloth and mild soap if necessary. Ensure the soles are dry before wearing.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials. Using shoe trees can help maintain shape.
