How does the BOOST cushioning perform?
BOOST cushioning offers excellent energy return and responsive comfort, helping to absorb impact during landings and provide a springy feel during play.
Is this shoe suitable for non-athletes?
While the shoe offers comfort and a unique style, its design and technology are optimized for basketball performance. It can be worn casually, but its primary function is athletic.
How should I clean the iridescent side panels?

Troubleshooting
Fit feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing pattern. Ensure the laces are evenly distributed and tied securely but not overly constricted. Consider the thickness of your socks.
Discomfort during play
Ensure proper break-in period. The BOOST cushioning may need a few wears to mold to your foot. Check lacing and sock choice for potential irritants.
Mud or dirt accumulation on panels
Gently clean with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid scrubbing vigorously to protect the iridescent finish.
