FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
While designed for performance, the outsole is optimized for indoor play. Consistent outdoor use on rough asphalt may lead to faster wear.
What is LIGHTBOOST technology?
LIGHTBOOST is an evolution of adidas' energy-returning foam, offering a lightweight feel with maximum responsiveness.
How should I clean the shoes?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap for surface stains. Avoid submerging in water or using a washing machine.
Is the fit true to size?
The boot-like construction is snug by design. If you prefer extra room, consider sizing up by a half-size.
Do these shoes provide ankle support?
The snug, contoured boot design provides a secure lockdown feel around the foot, offering structural support during lateral movements.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of excess tightness or pressure
Adjust the lacing system to be more relaxed and ensure you are using thin performance athletic socks.
Outsole losing grip on the court
Wipe the bottom of the soles with a slightly damp microfiber towel during timeouts to remove dust buildup.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, wear the shoes with your preferred athletic socks to gauge the fit of the boot-like construction properly. These trainers are built for indoor hardwood courts but can handle outdoor play on clean surfaces; however, heavy outdoor use may accelerate outsole wear. To care for your trainers, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth after games to remove dust. Do not machine wash or dry. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the foam cushioning.
