FAQs

What is the main design inspiration for this shoe?

The shoe merges adidas's athletic heritage with Fear of God's minimalist sportswear aesthetic, featuring a contemporary design with a unique rubber caging system and platform sole.

How do I clean the platform sole?

Use a soft brush or damp cloth to remove dirt. For more persistent marks, a mild soap and water solution can be applied carefully, followed by rinsing with a clean, damp cloth.

Is this shoe suitable for professional basketball games?

While designed with athletic features, the shoe's primary focus is on a blend of style and casual performance. For professional play, consider footwear specifically engineered for that level of intensity.

What does the 'Fear of God Athletics' branding signify?

It signifies a collaboration between adidas and Fear of God, founded by Jerry Lorenzo, aiming to create minimalist, contemporary sportswear.

How do the rubber caging and lacing system work?

The rubber overlays on the upper serve as the structure for the lacing system, allowing for adjustment and providing a secure lockdown while also housing the iconic adidas three stripes.

What is the recommended way to store these shoes?

Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and damage. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Laces difficult to adjust

Ensure the laces are threaded correctly through the rubber caging. Gently pull to tighten and loosen, ensuring no knots or snags impede movement.

Discomfort during wear

Adjust the lace tension for a more personalized fit. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks. Break in the shoes with short periods of wear initially.

Scuff marks on rubber caging

Use a damp cloth or a melamine foam eraser to gently clean scuff marks from the rubber exterior.
