FAQs

How do I clean the snakeskin texture?

Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth with mild soap to gently clean the textured areas. Avoid scrubbing intensely to preserve the texture's detail.

What is the retail price of this shoe?

Can this shoe be used for casual wear?

Yes, while designed for performance, the unique colorway and design make it a popular choice for casual wear and sneaker enthusiasts.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight

Ensure the correct size was selected. Loosen the laces and try re-lacing, focusing on distributing pressure evenly. Wear with performance socks for a snug fit, or consider a half-size up if persistent discomfort occurs.

Traction feels inconsistent

Clean the outsole using a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean. If the shoe is heavily worn, the tread may be compromised.

Color fading

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Store the shoes in a dark, cool environment. Clean with mild solutions and always air dry.

Material creasing

Some creasing is natural with wear, especially on leather materials. To minimize, avoid over-tightening laces and ensure proper storage. Use shoe trees if storing for extended periods.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

These are ready-to-wear basketball shoes. Ensure you have selected the correct size for optimal fit and performance. For players, it's recommended to "break in" the shoes by wearing them for a few short sessions before intense play.

Compatibility:

Designed as a unisex adult shoe, suitable for males. Primarily compatible with basketball court surfaces (indoor and outdoor), and suitable for general athletic activities. Not designed for hiking, trail running, or extreme weather conditions.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the upper. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. Ensure the shoe is air-dried away from direct heat sources.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect from dust and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can fade colors.
  • Laces: Keep laces clean; replace if frayed. Use the provided Electric Green laces or compatible replacements.
  • Rotation: If used for basketball frequently, consider rotating with another pair of shoes to allow them to fully dry and recover, extending their lifespan.
