Product Information
Full details
The Skechers SKX REIGN™ trainers are designed for adult male basketball players seeking to enhance their speed and agility on the court. Their primary benefit is the combination of advanced cushioning, explosive energy return, and superior grip for quick movements. A potential consideration is their mid-top design, which may offer a different feel than low-top models. Key features include a resilient HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner, a dual-density HYPER BURST® midsole, a carbon-infused plate, and a Goodyear® Performance Outsole, all contributing to a responsive and stable performance. The shoe also offers a lock-down heel and mid-foot wrap for enhanced stability.

FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The SKX REIGN™ trainers are designed with a standard fit. While they offer a secure mid-foot wrap, players with significantly wide feet may find them more comfortable after a break-in period or might prefer to explore other Skechers models designed for wider fits.
What is the main advantage of the carbon-infused plate?
The carbon-infused plate is integrated into the midsole to enhance energy return and provide a stiff, propulsive feel during explosive movements like jumping and sprinting. It helps transfer power more efficiently from the foot to the ground.
How does the HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner differ from the HYPER BURST® midsole?
The HYPER BURST PRO™ sock liner is the insole that sits directly underfoot, offering a resilient and comfortable layer. The HYPER BURST® midsole is the cushioning technology within the shoe's sole unit, providing shock absorption and responsive energy return.
Can these trainers be used for outdoor basketball?
While the Goodyear® Performance Outsole offers durability, these trainers are optimized for indoor court performance. Frequent use on abrasive outdoor surfaces can lead to premature wear of the outsole and damage to the upper materials.
Are the materials used in these trainers vegan?
Yes, the Skechers SKX REIGN™ trainers are made with textile and synthetic materials, and are described as vegan, meaning they do not contain any animal-derived components.
What is the recommended way to clean the upper material?
The upper can typically be cleaned by gently wiping with a damp cloth. For more persistent dirt, a very mild soap and water solution applied with a soft cloth can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth.
How does the mid-top design benefit a basketball player?
The mid-top design, along with the comfort collar, provides additional ankle support and a more secure fit compared to low-top shoes, which can be beneficial for players making quick lateral movements and needing ankle stability.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for casual activities or short training sessions to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape.
Reduced traction over time
Clean the outsole with a damp cloth to remove any dust or debris that may be reducing grip. Ensure you are playing on clean court surfaces.
Discomfort in the arch area
Check if the laces are tied too tightly. If discomfort persists, consider using aftermarket insoles that better match your foot's arch support needs.
Material scuffs or marks
Use a specialized shoe cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft cloth to gently remove marks. Test any cleaner on an inconspicuous area first.

Care: To maintain the performance and longevity of your SKX REIGN™ trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap and water solution on a cloth, then wipe clean with a fresh damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources such as radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shoe's shape.
- Socks: Wearing appropriate athletic socks is recommended for comfort and to help wick away moisture.
