FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for serious basketball games?
While inspired by basketball style, these are lifestyle trainers and are best suited for casual use or light activity rather than competitive court sports.
How do I clean the synthetic nubuck?
Use a soft brush to remove dirt. If needed, apply a mild cleaning solution specifically formulated for synthetic fabrics and wipe clean.
Are they water-resistant?
The materials are durable but not waterproof. It is best to avoid heavy rain to maintain the appearance of the synthetic nubuck.
Do these run true to size?
Yes, they feature a regular fit that matches standard adult sizing.
Can I replace the insoles?
The internal lining is comfortable, but the insole is generally not designed to be removed or replaced.
Troubleshooting
Creasing at the toe box
This is common with synthetic materials; use a shoe tree when not in use to help maintain the structural shape.
Difficulty putting on
Loosen the laces down to the second eyelet to provide enough room for the foot to slide past the mid-top collar.
Slippery outsole
Wipe the rubber outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove any accumulated floor wax or debris that may reduce grip.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your trainers last, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear them indoors for a few hours at a time to allow the synthetic nubuck to conform to your foot.
- Cleaning: Do not submerge in water. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove surface dust. For marks, use a specialized synthetic-safe cleaner and a damp, lint-free cloth.
- Storage: Keep in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the black/grey colourway over time.
- Compatibility: These trainers fit standard adult sizing. If you prefer to wear thick athletic socks, consider how they interact with the mid-top collar for maximum comfort.
