FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for running or cross-training?
These trainers are specifically designed for basketball. While they offer good cushioning and support, their construction is optimized for court movements like jumping, cutting, and quick stops, rather than the repetitive impact of running or the multi-directional stresses of cross-training.
What is the main difference between BOOST and Lightstrike cushioning?
BOOST offers superior energy return and plush cushioning, while Lightstrike is an ultralightweight foam designed for speed and responsiveness. The combination in the AE 1 Low aims to provide the best of both worlds: lightness with ample energy return.
How do I determine my correct UK size?
Refer to the adidas sizing chart available on the product page or official adidas website. It's recommended to measure your foot length and compare it with the provided chart. For basketball shoes, a snug fit is often preferred for optimal performance.
Can these trainers be worn in wet conditions?
These trainers are designed for indoor court use and are not waterproof. Exposure to wet conditions may reduce traction and could damage the materials.
What does the 'AE' branding signify?
'AE' stands for Anthony Edwards, the NBA player for whom these signature shoes are designed. The branding signifies a collaboration and a shoe built with his playing style and needs in mind.
How durable is the rubber outsole?
The rubber outsole is designed for durability on indoor basketball courts, providing consistent grip. Prolonged use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may accelerate wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight after lacing
Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-lace, ensuring a snug but not constricting fit. Pay attention to pressure points.
Slight squeaking noise during movement
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try wearing them for a short period to break them in, or ensure the insole is seated correctly.
Loss of grip on court surface
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn and require replacement of the shoes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Unbox the trainers and inspect for any manufacturing defects.
- Ensure the laces are properly threaded through the eyelets.
- Adjust the lacing to achieve a snug, comfortable fit. The shoe should feel secure around the foot without being too tight.
Compatibility:
- These trainers are optimized for indoor basketball courts.
- While suitable for light training, they are primarily designed for the specific demands of basketball gameplay.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust from the upper and midsole. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean, damp cloth.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or the original box, to protect them from dust and maintain their shape.
