FAQs
What does the 'Texas' colorway represent?
The "Texas" colorway, featuring burnt orange and metallic silver, celebrates Kevin Durant's time playing college basketball for the University of Texas Longhorns.
How do I adjust the Adaptive Fit strap?
The strap is designed to be pulled across the top of the foot and secured with Velcro. Adjust its position and tightness for a personalized fit that balances comfort and lockdown.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Adaptive Fit strap offers some adjustability, but individuals with very wide feet might find the overall fit restrictive. It's recommended to try them on if possible.
What is the cushioning technology used?
These shoes feature Zoom Air cushioning, known for providing responsive, low-profile impact protection and a quick feel.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning. Hand wash using a damp cloth.
What is the primary intended use for these trainers?
While they offer performance features for basketball, their distinctive design also makes them a popular choice for casual wear and as a collectible item.
Troubleshooting
Strap feels too tight or loose.
Adjust the Velcro strap for a custom fit. If it's consistently too tight or loose, consider trying a different size or model.
Reduced traction on court.
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean. For very dusty courts, consider using a shoe brush or dedicated court cleaner.
Cushioning feels stiff.
The Zoom Air unit may require a break-in period. Wear the shoes for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Discoloration of the orange material.
Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Clean with a damp cloth as recommended, and store away from light when not in use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the Adaptive Fit strap is adjusted for a comfortable and secure fit before use. Lace them up to your preferred tightness.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball, these trainers are suitable for indoor court play. They are also a popular choice for casual streetwear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners.
- Drying: If the shoes get wet, stuff them with paper to absorb moisture and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a dryer.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and color.
