FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
While durable, they are primarily designed for indoor hardwood surfaces. Consistent outdoor use on concrete may accelerate outsole wear.
What is the primary difference between the cushioning technologies?
BOOST provides superior comfort and energy return, while Lightstrike offers lightweight responsiveness and a lower profile feel.
Does this model come in different widths?
The AE 1 uses a standard width with a sock-like fit; it is not currently offered in separate wide or narrow width variations.
Can the insoles be removed?
The insoles are generally designed to be fixed to the footbed, but can be carefully removed if you use custom orthotics.
How should I store these trainers?
Store them in a cool, dry place and use shoe trees to help maintain the shape of the geometric support cage.
Troubleshooting
Foot feels too tight in the midfoot
Loosen the laces significantly starting from the bottom eyelets to expand the sock-like fit before re-tightening.
Scuffs on the metallic silver finish
Use a gentle, non-abrasive cleaner with a soft microfiber cloth to buff out surface marks without scratching the polyurethane.
Reduced traction on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp towel or traction pad to clear dust and regain optimal grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best experience, ensure the shoe is laced snugly to take full advantage of the internal support system. These trainers are designed for men's sizing; if you are purchasing based on a unisex preference, refer to the UK sizing standard of 12. To maintain the appearance of the metallic-silver honeycomb supports, wipe them down with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the polyurethane structure and cushioning components. Air-dry in a cool, ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
