FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for professional basketball?

No, these are lifestyle trainers inspired by basketball shoes, designed for daily casual wear rather than competitive court performance.

Are they water-resistant?

The synthetic nubuck material offers some protection against light moisture, but they are not waterproof.

How do I clean the white sections on the outsole?

Use a sponge with a mixture of water and mild detergent to scrub the rubber outsole gently.

Are these shoes unisex?

Yes, this specific model is designed as a unisex trainer suitable for all genders.

Do I need to break these in?

Because of the synthetic nubuck construction, they may feel slightly rigid at first but will soften and conform to your foot after a few days of wear.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes, as the cycle can damage the structural integrity and the adhesive components.

Troubleshooting

Laces feel too tight or loose

Adjust the tension across the eyestays starting from the toe box working upward to distribute pressure evenly.

Light surface dirt on upper

Use a soft-bristled brush or a slightly damp microfiber cloth to gently buff away debris.

Insole discomfort

If the provided insole does not offer enough support, it can be removed and replaced with a generic aftermarket cushioned insert.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your trainers last, follow these maintenance tips: Always unlace the shoes completely before putting them on or taking them off to prevent heel collapse. For cleaning, wipe the synthetic nubuck upper with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the synthetic fibers and adhesive bonds. If the shoes become damp, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to prevent material warping.
