Full details
The Adidas Marquee Boost trainers in White/Black/Active Gold (Size UK 12) are designed for adult males seeking durable and stylish footwear for performance, particularly basketball, with a retro aesthetic. Their key benefit lies in providing responsive cushioning and a supportive fit.

FAQs
Are these trainers suitable for running?
While they offer excellent cushioning, the Adidas Marquee Boost are primarily designed for basketball and court sports, focusing on lateral support and traction. They may not provide the specific cushioning and support required for long-distance running.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel secure without slipping, and the midfoot should feel comfortably snug.
What is the primary benefit of the 'Boost' technology?
Boost technology provides exceptional energy return, meaning it absorbs the impact of each step and converts it into responsive cushioning, making your movements feel more energetic and reducing fatigue.
How long does the break-in period typically last?
The break-in period can vary, but typically takes a few wearings for the materials to mold to your foot shape. Focus on wearing them for shorter periods initially and gradually increasing the duration.
Can these trainers be machine washed?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the cushioning, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoe. Hand washing with a damp cloth and mild soap is the preferred method.
What does the 'Active Gold' color refer to?
'Active Gold' refers to a specific accent color used in the design, contributing to the trainer's distinctive visual appeal alongside the primary white and black.
Troubleshooting
Squeaking sound when walking
This can sometimes occur due to friction between the insole and the midsole. Try removing the insole, cleaning both surfaces, and reinserting it securely. A small amount of baby powder under the insole can also help.
Laces come undone frequently
Ensure you are using a double knot when tying your laces. Consider replacing the laces with a textured or 'grippier' pair designed to stay tied.
Discomfort or pressure points
Ensure the correct size is selected and the lacing is adjusted properly to provide a snug but not overly tight fit. Wear with appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists after a break-in period, consult the manufacturer's guidelines or a shoe specialist.
Reduced grip on court
Check the outsole for debris, mud, or excessive wear. Clean the soles with a damp cloth. If the tread is significantly worn down, the shoes may need replacement for optimal performance and safety.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers require no specific setup; they are ready to wear out of the box.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for basketball and similar court sports. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. While suitable for casual wear, their performance features are best utilized in athletic contexts.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, which can damage the materials.
- Lining: For the interior, use a brush to remove loose dirt. If necessary, use a mild soap solution on a cloth, but avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can cause shrinkage or material damage.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
