FAQs
What does 'EP' mean on these shoes?
EP stands for Engineered Performance. This version typically offers enhanced durability and traction, making it well-suited for outdoor court use.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The Nike Kyrie Hybrid S2 EP generally has a standard width fit. Players with significantly wide feet might find them snug and may need to consider sizing up or trying them on first.
How do I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush or a slightly damp cloth to gently clean the leather. For stubborn marks, a mild leather cleaner can be used sparingly, followed by wiping with a clean cloth.
What is the 'What The' colorway?
The 'What The' colorway is a special design that combines various colors, patterns, and design elements from previous models in the Kyrie line, resulting in a unique, eclectic aesthetic.
Can these shoes be used for training other than basketball?
While primarily designed for basketball, the cushioning and support features make them suitable for general gym training. However, they may not be ideal for sports requiring lateral stability or specific movements outside of basketball.
How durable are the materials?
The shoes feature wear-resistant construction, designed to withstand the demands of regular basketball play, including cuts, jumps, and pivots.
Troubleshooting
Slightly tight fit
Wear the shoes with athletic socks for a few sessions to allow them to break in. If still too tight, consider a half-size up if available.
Traction feels reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth or use a brush to remove accumulated dust and debris.
Color bleed on lighter socks
This can occur with new, brightly colored shoes. Wash affected socks separately. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing with light-colored socks.
