FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
The AE 1 Low is primarily designed for indoor courts. While the durable rubber outsole offers good traction, prolonged use on rough outdoor surfaces may lead to faster wear.
How do I clean the metallic grey finish?
Use a damp cloth with mild soap to gently wipe the exterior. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which could damage the finish.
What is the main difference between the AE 1 and AE 1 Low?
The primary difference is the cut. The AE 1 Low features a lower collar for increased ankle mobility, while the standard AE 1 typically offers a mid or high-top cut for more ankle support.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Sizing can vary slightly between individuals. It is recommended to consult the size chart and consider trying them on if possible, or reading user reviews for fit insights.
What kind of cushioning technology is used?
The AE 1 Low features a responsive cushioning system designed to provide comfort and energy return during athletic movements.
How should I store these shoes when not in use?
Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree or stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
Troubleshooting
Slipping on the court
Ensure the rubber outsole is clean and free from debris. If the issue persists on certain court surfaces, consider this shoe may not be optimal for that specific environment.
Discomfort during initial wear
Allow for a break-in period of a few play sessions. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Mesh upper feels too loose
Ensure laces are tied securely but not excessively tight. Proper lacing technique can improve fit and lockdown.
Premature wear on outsole
Avoid prolonged use on abrasive outdoor courts, as the outsole is designed for optimal grip and durability on indoor surfaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box, though a short break-in period might enhance comfort. They are designed primarily for basketball courts (indoor use recommended for maximum durability). To care for your AE 1 Low shoes:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the mesh upper and outsole. Avoid harsh detergents or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
