FAQs

Is this shoe suitable for outdoor courts?

While the gum rubber outsole is durable, this shoe is primarily engineered for indoor hardwood surfaces to maximize the life of the cushioning and traction patterns.

Does the shoe provide good ankle support?

The mid-cut design offers more structural stability around the ankle compared to low-top models, though it is still designed to maintain agility.

How should I clean the leather parts?

Use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and a damp cloth with mild soap for localized spots, then allow them to air dry naturally away from heat sources.

Are these shoes true to size?

Yes, they generally fit true to size. If you prefer a more locked-in feel, stick with your standard size; if you have wide feet, you may want to consider a half-size up.

Can I replace the insoles?

Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to insert custom orthotics if preferred.

Troubleshooting

Slippage on the court

Clean the dust off the outsole with a damp cloth or a traction mat to restore grip.

Feeling too tight around the midfoot

Loosen the lacing system near the Flywire cables and wear thinner performance socks to increase internal volume.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptional energy return from the Zoom Air and Lunarlon combination
  • Secure lockdown provided by Flywire cables
  • Highly durable gum rubber outsole for consistent traction
  • Lightweight construction prevents foot fatigue

Cons

  • Requires a break-in period for the leather upper to soften
  • Mid-top profile may feel restrictive to players who prefer low-cut agility
  • Mesh material can be prone to collecting dust if not regularly maintained

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best fit, ensure you select your standard Nike size, as the mid-cut provides a snug, performance-oriented lockdown. When wearing them for the first time, allow for a brief session of light activity to help the leather upper contour to your foot shape. To maintain the shoes, wipe the outsole with a damp cloth after each game to remove court dust, which ensures the traction remains at peak performance. Avoid using harsh chemicals or machine washing, as these can degrade the integrity of the adhesive and the leather material. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
