FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Nike Kyrie Hybrid S2 EP generally offers a standard fit. Players with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on or checking reviews for fit feedback for wider feet is recommended.
How do I clean the unique 'What The' colorway?
Clean the colorway using the same method as the rest of the shoe: a soft, damp cloth with mild soap and water for stubborn spots. Avoid bleach or harsh chemicals that could affect the colors.
What is the main benefit of the high-top design?
The high-top design provides enhanced ankle support and a more secure, locked-in feel, which can help prevent sprains and improve stability during lateral movements.
Can I use these for outdoor basketball?
While durable, these trainers are primarily designed for indoor courts. Using them extensively on rough outdoor surfaces can lead to premature wear of the outsole and cushioning.
What type of player is this shoe best suited for?
These shoes are ideal for agile basketball players who rely on quick changes of direction, sharp cuts, and explosive movements, benefiting from excellent traction and responsive cushioning.
How long is the expected lifespan of the shoe?
With proper care and regular use on indoor courts, the lifespan can vary but typically ranges from one to two basketball seasons for dedicated players.
Troubleshooting
Laces come undone easily.
Try using a double knot when lacing up your shoes. Consider replacing the laces with a pair that has more grip.
Reduced traction on court.
Ensure the outsole is clean from dust and debris. Wipe the soles with a damp cloth if they appear slick. Check for significant wear on the tread pattern.
Discomfort or pressure points.
Allow for a break-in period of a few games or training sessions. Adjust lacing tension, particularly around the ankle and forefoot. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.
Material scuffs easily.
Clean minor scuffs with a damp cloth. For more stubborn marks, a leather cleaner might be effective, but test in an inconspicuous area first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably. Adjust the laces to your preference for a secure fit.
Compatibility: Optimized for indoor basketball courts. While they can be worn casually, prolonged use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may reduce their lifespan and traction effectiveness.
Care Instructions:
- Clean the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- For the midsole and outsole, use a mild soap and water solution with a brush to gently scrub away grime.
- Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hair dryers, as this can damage the materials.
- Store in a cool, dry place when not in use, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and moisture.
