Full details

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the cross straps?

The straps are designed to provide extra midfoot lockdown and stability, reducing the risk of ankle inversion during play.

Does this shoe provide good arch support?

Yes, the integrated polycarbonate torsion plate provides substantial midfoot rigidity and arch support.

Are these shoes suitable for everyday walking?

While they can be worn casually, they are heavier than modern sneakers, so they are best suited for shorter periods of activity.

How should I clean the nubuck or leather sections?

Use a dry, soft brush to remove loose debris, and apply a premium leather cleaner with a microfiber cloth for stubborn spots.

Does the 2015 version differ from the original 1993 version?

The 2015 release stays true to the original 1993 design, utilizing the same iconic black, aqua, and purple color scheme and technical features.

Troubleshooting

Foot feels too tight inside the shoe

Loosen the external cross straps significantly before sliding your foot in to ensure the internal sleeve is not bunched up.

Creasing on the toe box area

Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help maintain the leather structure and minimize deep creases.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Iconic aesthetic derived from the 1993 All-Star game
  • Excellent lockdown provided by the signature cross-strap system
  • Durable, high-quality materials built for longevity
  • Stable base due to the polycarbonate torsion plate

Cons

  • More substantial and heavier than modern performance mesh trainers
  • Requires significant break-in time for the rigid materials
  • Limited breathability compared to contemporary footwear

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the internal sleeve is fully pulled up before tightening the cross straps. The shoe is designed to be worn true to size, though the internal padding may feel restrictive during the first few wears. For care, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust from the upper. If the leather needs deeper cleaning, apply a mild leather cleaner specifically designed for footwear. Avoid submerging the shoes in water, as this can degrade the internal adhesive and structural components. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight to prevent the midsole from yellowing.
