FAQs
What does 'Bred' colorway mean?
'Bred' is a common term in sneaker culture referring to a color combination of black and red, a classic and popular palette often associated with iconic athletic shoes.
Is the midfoot strap adjustable?
Yes, the midfoot strap is adjustable, allowing you to customize the level of lockdown and support for a secure fit.
How does the Zoom Air cushioning feel?
Zoom Air provides responsive cushioning, offering a springy feel that helps with quick movements and reduces impact during jumps and landings. It may feel slightly firm at first but softens with wear.
Can these shoes be used for everyday wear?

What is the primary material of the upper?

How should I clean these basketball shoes?

Troubleshooting
Laces come undone easily
Ensure laces are double-knotted. Consider replacing with different lacing techniques or longer laces if needed.
Slight tightness on first wear
The multi-layered mesh is designed to adapt. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to break in and conform to your foot shape.
Traction seems reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Consistent cleaning of the traction pattern will maintain grip.
Midsole feels too firm
Zoom Air cushioning may feel firmer initially. Continue to wear the shoes to allow the cushioning to break in and become more responsive.
