Hexalite cushioning uses a honeycomb-like structure to absorb shock and provide a comfortable, responsive feel. It's designed to offer superior comfort and impact protection during high-impact activities.

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?

While inspired by basketball heritage and offering good support, these are retro trainers released in 2020. For professional-level play, specialized modern performance basketball shoes might offer more advanced features. However, they are excellent for casual play and training.

What is the main material of the upper?

The upper is constructed from a combination of leather and synthetic materials, providing both durability and a structured fit.

How do I determine the correct size?

The shoe is available in UK men's sizes. Refer to a standard UK men's shoe size chart to find your corresponding size. It's recommended to try them on if possible, or consult customer reviews regarding fit.

Can I wear these with different types of clothing?

Are there other colorways available for the Kamikaze II series?

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If still tight, try wearing thinner socks or wear them for shorter periods initially to allow the materials to stretch slightly.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness

The Hexalite cushioning is designed for durability. If you notice a significant decrease in comfort, it may be due to wear and tear over extended use.

Traction feels slippery

Ensure the outsole is clean. Dirt and debris can accumulate in the tread pattern, reducing grip. Clean the outsole with a brush and water.

Material scuffing easily

The leather and synthetic materials are durable but can scuff. Be mindful of abrasive surfaces. For minor scuffs on leather, a leather conditioner or specific shoe polish might help.

Care: To maintain the appearance and longevity of your Reebok Kamikaze II OG (2020) trainers:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Wipe the leather and synthetic materials with a slightly damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole/Outsole: Use a brush or cloth with water and mild soap to clean the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and damage.
