FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
While they can be used outdoors, the metallic finish and tread are optimized for indoor courts. Frequent outdoor use will likely accelerate cosmetic wear and tread degradation.
How do I ensure the right fit?
The Mb.05 should have a snug fit through the midfoot. We recommend trying them on with the type of athletic socks you typically wear for basketball games.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the structural integrity and the specialized metallic finish. Always hand clean with a soft cloth.
Are these trainers suitable for non-basketball activities?
While they are comfortable, they are specifically engineered for the lateral movements of basketball. For long-distance running or gym lifting, a cross-trainer might be more appropriate.
How do I restore the metallic look if it gets scuffed?
Minor surface scuffs can often be cleaned with a damp cloth, but deep scratches to the metallic coating are permanent. Prevention through regular cleaning is the best maintenance.
Troubleshooting
Feeling slippage inside the shoe during play
Ensure the laces are pulled tight through the upper eyelets to maximize the lockdown effect.
Metallic finish appears dull or cloudy
Gently clean the surface with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of water to restore the sheen; avoid harsh chemical cleaners.
Grip feels reduced on the court
Check the outsole for dust buildup and wipe the tread with a damp towel to regain traction.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-stability design prevents unnecessary foot roll
- Striking metallic aesthetic stands out in team settings
- Specifically engineered for the high-intensity motions of basketball
- Secure lockdown fit for improved agility
Cons
- Metallic finish may show scuffs more clearly than matte materials

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, lace the trainers snugly to engage the lockdown system across the midfoot. These shoes are sized for the youth market, so verify fitment against standard athletic sock thickness before game use.
Care Instructions:
- Post-Game Wipe Down: Use a soft, damp cloth to remove court dust immediately after use to protect the metallic coating.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the metallic finish from dulling.
- Cleaning: Avoid machine washing. Use mild soap and a soft-bristled brush for stubborn dirt on the outsole only.
