FAQs
Is the Reebok Kamikaze 2 Low OG true to size?
Yes, it generally fits true to your standard UK shoe size.
Does this shoe provide good ankle support?
As a low-top model, it prioritizes mobility over ankle lockdown, offering less rigid support than the original high-top version.
Can I wear these for outdoor basketball?
While durable, the leather construction and cushioning are best suited for indoor court surfaces to maintain the longevity of the outsole.
What is the primary material used?
The upper is constructed primarily from leather, providing a classic look and durable structure.
What is Hexalite technology?
Hexalite is Reebok's proprietary cushioning technology featuring a honeycomb structure that absorbs impact and disperses energy.
Troubleshooting
Leather upper becoming stiff
Apply a high-quality leather conditioner to maintain the suppleness of the material.
Loss of grip on dusty courts
Wipe the outsole with a damp towel to remove dust buildup and restore traction.
Creasing in the toe box
Use shoe trees when not wearing to help the material retain its shape and minimize deep creases.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, select your standard UK size, as these trainers are designed to conform to the foot over time. Given the leather construction, it is important to keep the surface clean to prevent scuffing.
Care Instructions:
- Wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after use to remove dust and court debris.
- Use a specialized leather cleaner for stubborn marks, avoiding harsh chemical solvents.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can cause the leather to crack.
- Keep out of direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain the vibrancy of the black and white color blocking.
