What is the 'Guava Ice' colorway?

How do I find the right size?
Refer to the Nike sizing chart for accurate measurements. This guide lists the shoe in UK size 13, but other sizes may be available. Ensure your foot measurements correspond to the recommended size for a proper fit.
Is the material suitable for all weather conditions?

Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system. Loosen the laces to create more space or tighten them for a more snug fit. Ensure the laces are tied securely.
Traction feels reduced on court
Clean the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that can accumulate and reduce grip. Ensure you are playing on a suitable court surface.
Material shows signs of wear quickly
