Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
These trainers are primarily designed for indoor court performance. The non-marking rubber outsole provides optimal grip on polished surfaces, but it may wear down quickly and offer less traction on rough outdoor courts.
How do I clean the Boost cushioning?
The Boost cushioning can typically be cleaned with a soft brush or damp cloth. Mild soap and water can be used for tougher spots. Always allow the shoes to air dry completely afterward.
What does 'non-marking' outsole mean?
A non-marking outsole means the rubber is formulated so that it does not leave scuff marks or dark streaks on indoor court surfaces like wood or linoleum.
How durable is the mesh upper?
The mesh upper is designed to be breathable and lightweight while offering reasonable durability for basketball activities. However, it is more susceptible to abrasion than solid leather or synthetic overlays.
Can I return these if the size is wrong?
Yes, you can return the footwear if the size is incorrect. It is highly recommended to try them on indoors on a clean surface before returning, as stated in the product description, to ensure they meet return conditions.
What is the main advantage of the Boost cushioning?
The main advantage of Boost cushioning is its high energy return, meaning it absorbs impact and then springs back, providing a responsive feel that can help reduce fatigue and improve performance.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable
Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring even pressure. If discomfort persists, the shoes may not be the right fit for your foot shape. Try wearing them with appropriate athletic socks.
Traction seems poor on the court
Ensure the court surface is clean and free of dust or debris. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated dust. If the shoes are old, the outsole may have worn down.
Mesh upper appears dirty or stained
Gently clean the mesh with a soft brush and a mild soap solution. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing.
Sizing seems incorrect upon arrival
Check the size conversion chart provided by the retailer or Adidas. Remember that the box or label might display US or European sizing. Try the shoes on indoors to confirm fit before initiating a return.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready for use straight out of the box. Ensure you try them on indoors on a clean surface to check the fit before use on a court.
Compatibility: Designed specifically for basketball and indoor court sports. While the outsole is non-marking, it is optimized for performance on polished wood or similar court surfaces. Not recommended for heavy outdoor use or running on abrasive surfaces.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and dust from the upper and midsole. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources (e.g., radiators, hairdryers) as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Laces: Remove laces for cleaning and ensure they are dry before re-inserting.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shape.
