FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
While the gum rubber provides decent durability, the mesh upper is susceptible to tearing on rough asphalt; these are best suited for indoor courts.
What technology is used for cushioning?
The midsole combines Lunarlon foam for soft, springy cushioning and Zoom Air technology for a responsive feel.
Does the shoe provide ankle support?
The mid-cut design offers moderate support that balances stability with the agility required for quick guards and forwards.
How should I clean the mesh upper?
Use a soft-bristled brush and a mixture of water and mild detergent to gently scrub the mesh, then allow it to air dry.
Are these true to size?
Yes, they generally fit true to size, though the secure fit of the Flywire may feel snug for players with wider feet.
Troubleshooting
Feeling too tight across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system completely, specifically the eyelets integrated with the Flywire cables, then relace with moderate tension.
Outsole losing traction
Wipe the gum rubber soles with a slightly damp cloth to remove court dust or wax buildup that accumulates during play.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent court feel and responsiveness
- Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue
- Durable gum rubber provides reliable grip
- Secure lockdown through Flywire cables
Cons
- Mid-cut design may take time to break in
- Primarily optimized for indoor court surfaces
- Limited colorway flexibility
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, start by loosening the laces completely before inserting your foot to prevent strain on the Flywire cables. Ensure the tongue is centered to maximize the benefits of the padded design. For compatibility, these trainers are true to size for most, though those with wider feet might prefer a half-size adjustment.
Care instructions:
- Wipe the mesh upper with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust.
- Use a soft brush for the gum outsole to dislodge pebbles or court debris.
- Always air-dry at room temperature; avoid direct sunlight or heaters, as excessive heat can degrade the foam midsole.
- Store in a cool, dry place to maintain the shape of the mid-cut collar.
