FAQs

What inspired the 'Showtime' colorway?

The 'Showtime' colorway is a tribute to the Los Angeles Lakers' legendary 'Showtime' era and Austin Reaves' aspiration to help the team return to that level of glory.

Is the woven upper durable?

Yes, the cocoon-inspired woven upper is designed for durability and provides both breathability and lockdown support for athletic activities.

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?

While designed for performance, outdoor court surfaces can cause accelerated wear. For extended outdoor use, consider the specific durability of the outsole on rougher terrains.

What is the primary benefit of the cocoon-inspired upper?

The primary benefit is the combination of breathability and a secure lockdown support, which is crucial for preventing foot slippage during dynamic movements.

What size foot does UK 14 typically correspond to?

UK size 14 is a large size, generally suitable for adult men with larger feet. It's recommended to check brand-specific sizing charts for precise measurements.

Can these trainers be worn for other sports?

While optimized for basketball, their supportive nature may lend themselves to other training activities. However, they are not specifically designed for sports requiring different types of lateral support or court grip.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight

Ensure laces are loosened before putting on. The woven upper may offer a snug fit; consider if this is a design feature or requires a size adjustment.

Reduced breathability over time

Clean the upper material gently with a damp cloth. Ensure ventilation channels are not obstructed.

Color transfer to socks

This can occasionally happen with new dyed materials. Washing the inside of the shoes gently or wearing darker socks may help. Allow ample drying time after cleaning.
