Extended Product Information
FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
While the Goodyear® outsole provides durable grip, these trainers are optimized for indoor court performance. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear of the outsole.
How do I clean the HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner?
The sock liner can typically be removed for cleaning. Use a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush or cloth. Ensure it is completely dry before reinserting.
What is the benefit of the carbon-infused plate?
The carbon-infused plate is engineered to provide stiffness and leverage for explosive take-offs, helping you jump higher and accelerate faster.
How does the mid-top design contribute to performance?
The mid-top design, along with the comfort collar and lock-down heel, offers enhanced ankle support and stability, which is crucial for reducing the risk of ankle injuries during intense basketball movements.
What is the main difference between HYPER BURST PRO™ and HYPER BURST®?
HYPER BURST PRO™ refers to the sock liner, offering resilient cushioning, while HYPER BURST® is the midsole foam technology, providing dual-density cushioning for responsiveness and impact absorption.
Can I replace the insoles with my own orthotics?
Yes, the removable sock liner (insole) allows for the insertion of custom orthotics if needed, provided they fit within the shoe's volume.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight after lacing
Loosen the laces slightly, especially around the mid-foot wrap, and re-tie to a comfortable but secure fit. Ensure you are using the correct shoe size.
Reduced grip on the court
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be affecting traction. Ensure you are playing on an appropriate court surface.
Discomfort during initial wear
Allow for a break-in period of a few wearings. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time as the shoes conform to your feet.
Cushioning feels too firm
The HYPER BURST® midsole is designed for responsiveness and energy return. It may feel firmer than traditional EVA foams. A break-in period can help it adapt, or consider if a softer cushioning shoe might better suit your preference.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box, though a short break-in period is recommended to allow the materials to conform to your feet for maximum comfort and performance. Ensure laces are tied securely, utilizing the mid-foot wrap for optimal lockdown.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball court use. Compatibility with other sports surfaces may vary.
Care:
- Remove excess dirt with a soft brush or dry cloth.
- For light cleaning, use a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents.
- Wipe away any soap residue with a clean, damp cloth.
- Allow shoes to air dry completely at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Do not machine wash or submerge in water.
