FAQs
Is this shoe suitable for actual basketball games?
While inspired by basketball silhouettes, the primary design focus is on fashion and premium materials. For serious athletic performance, dedicated basketball shoes might offer more specialized support and traction.
What are the main materials used in this shoe?
The shoe features a textile base, a neoprene layer over the toe box and sides, and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) for the oversized 3-Stripes and heel support. The midsole also includes a Fear of God patch.
How does the 'Clay' color look in person?
The 'Clay' colorway is a sophisticated tan hue, offering a neutral and versatile aesthetic that is a hallmark of luxury fashion collaborations.
How should I clean the neoprene parts of the shoe?
Gently wipe the neoprene areas with a damp cloth. If necessary, use a mild soap solution sparingly and wipe clean immediately with a fresh damp cloth. Avoid soaking.
Does the sock-like ankle fit provide good support?
The sock-like fit is designed to offer a snug and comfortable feel around the ankle, contributing to the overall comfort and secure fit of the shoe for casual wear.
What is the significance of the Fear of God Athletics I series?
This series represents a collaboration between adidas and Fear of God, aiming to merge athletic performance design with high-fashion sensibilities.
Can I machine wash these trainers?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials and construction of the shoe.
Troubleshooting
Slight stiffness upon first wear
This is normal for new premium footwear. Wear them for short periods initially to break them in. The materials will soften with use.
Difficulty pulling shoe on
Utilize the heel pull tab. Ensure the sock-like ankle collar is not bunched up. Wearing thinner socks may also help.
Marks or scuffs on the TPU 3-Stripes
Gently wipe the affected area with a clean, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a very mild soap solution may be carefully applied and wiped clean.
