FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for running or general training?

The Pro Bounce 2018 are specifically designed for basketball. While they offer comfort and support, their specialized traction and cushioning are optimized for court movements, not general running or cross-training.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the size chart provided by the retailer. For these trainers, UK size 8.5 corresponds to a specific foot length. It is recommended to measure your foot and compare it to the chart.

Can I wear these shoes in wet conditions?

These trainers are not waterproof. Wearing them in wet conditions may reduce traction and can damage the shoe materials. They are best suited for dry indoor court environments.

What is the main advantage of the Boost cushioning?

Boost cushioning provides superior energy return, meaning it absorbs impact and then springs back, giving you a more responsive feel and helping to reduce fatigue during play.

How durable is the synthetic upper?

The synthetic upper is designed to be lightweight yet durable, offering support and resisting wear and tear from regular basketball activity.

Are there other colorways available?

Yes, the Pro Bounce 2018 series comes in various colorways, including black with blue accents, and other combinations.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during wear

Loosen the laces and re-tie them, ensuring a snug but not overly constrictive fit. Adjust lacing to relieve pressure points.

Reduced grip on court surface

Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that may be hindering traction. Ensure the court surface is clean.

Cushioning feels less responsive over time

Ensure the shoes are not subjected to extreme temperatures or prolonged exposure to moisture, which can degrade cushioning. Maintain regular cleaning and proper drying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent cushioning for comfort and impact absorption.
  • Secure and adjustable fit for on-court stability.
  • Durable construction suitable for rigorous play.
  • Designed to enhance agility and court responsiveness.

Cons

  • May be too performance-oriented for casual everyday wear.
  • Specific fit may require trying on for optimal comfort.
  • Lacks the aesthetic versatility of lifestyle sneakers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These trainers are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure they are laced correctly for a snug but comfortable fit before hitting the court.

Compatibility:

Primarily designed for indoor basketball courts. While they offer good traction on most clean court surfaces, performance may vary on dusty or outdoor courts.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the exterior. Avoid machine washing.
  • Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain material integrity.
