FAQs

What is the primary benefit of the low-top design?

The low-top design enhances ankle mobility, allowing for more natural movement and quicker first steps on the court.

How does the shoe ensure a locked-in feel?

A combination of a supportive outer shell with strategic ventilation and a plush inner bootie works together to securely hold your foot in place without sacrificing breathability.

Is this shoe suitable for players who make a lot of cuts and changes of direction?

Yes, the grippy rubber outsole with directional traction is specifically designed to help you stop on a dime and change pace with confidence.

What kind of cushioning does the midsole offer?

The shoe features a sculpted midsole that provides responsive cushioning, designed to handle both quick runs and hard landings.

How should I clean these basketball shoes?

Gently clean the shoes with a soft brush or damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents and allow them to air dry naturally.

Can these shoes be used for activities other than basketball?

While engineered for basketball performance, their modern aesthetic and comfort features make them suitable for casual streetwear. However, optimal performance is for court use.

What does '3SSB' stand for?

3SSB refers to specific design details inspired by the '3 Stripes Select Basketball' program, adding a unique aesthetic to the shoe.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable

Adjust the lacing to find a more comfortable fit. Ensure the inner bootie is smooth and not bunched. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in.

Traction is reduced on court

Clean the rubber outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and court debris. Ensure the court surface is clean and dry.

Foot feels unstable during lateral movements

Ensure the lacing system is fully utilized, paying attention to the eyelets near the ankle. Check that the raised sidewalls are providing adequate support for your foot type.

Lack of cushioning or responsiveness

The cushioning is designed to be responsive rather than overly plush. If it feels insufficient, ensure you are not over-tightening the laces, which can reduce the midsole's ability to absorb impact. Allow for a break-in period.
