FAQs

What is Nike Zoom Air?

Nike Zoom Air is a flat, thin, highly responsive cushioning system that uses pressurized air and internal fibers to absorb impact and spring back quickly, providing fast, snappy off-the-ground feel.

Is the Nike Book 1 suitable for outdoor basketball courts?

While the Nike Book 1 is built with durable materials and excellent traction, it is primarily designed for indoor basketball courts to maximize its performance and lifespan. Frequent outdoor use can accelerate wear on the outsole and upper materials.

How do I clean the genuine leather and suede on my shoes?

For genuine leather, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. For suede, use a suede brush to remove loose dirt and a specialized suede cleaner for stains. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.

What does the midfoot plate do?

The strong plastic midfoot plate provides enhanced stability and support, especially during sharp cuts, pivots, and quick changes of direction. It helps prevent your foot from twisting and keeps you balanced during dynamic movements.

Is there a break-in period for the Nike Book 1?

Yes, although the shoe is designed for comfort out of the box, a short break-in period of 1-2 playing sessions is recommended to allow the materials to fully mold to your foot and the cushioning to perform optimally.

What kind of traction pattern does the Nike Book 1 have?

The Nike Book 1 features a multidirectional, Herringbone-like pattern on its outsole. This design provides sticky and reliable traction, crucial for quick lateral movements, cuts, and stops on the court.

Troubleshooting

Squeaking sound when walking or playing

This is often normal for new basketball shoes due to the traction pattern gripping the court. If excessive, ensure the insoles are properly seated or try wiping the outsole with a slightly damp cloth to remove any dust that might be causing friction.

Foot feels uncomfortable or too tight

Ensure you've completed a short break-in period. Check your lacing; it might be too tight in certain areas. If discomfort persists, consider trying different basketball socks or ensuring the shoe size is correct for your foot measurements, especially for the width.

Lack of grip on the court

The outsole might be dirty. Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth and mild soap to remove dust and debris. If the court itself is dusty, this can also reduce grip. Ensure the court surface is clean.

Leather creasing or scuffing

Creasing is a natural characteristic of genuine leather, especially in high-flex areas. To minimize, clean and condition the leather regularly. For scuffs, a specialized leather cleaner or polish in a matching color may help to conceal them.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

The Nike Book 1 is designed to offer a comfortable, broken-in feel from the start due to its soft suedes and genuine leather. However, like most performance footwear, a short break-in period of 1-2 playing sessions is recommended to allow the materials to fully conform to your foot and the cushioning to activate optimally.

  1. Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for light activities or short practice sessions to start.
  2. Lacing: Ensure proper lacing to achieve a snug but comfortable fit, utilizing all eyelets for maximum support.
  3. Footwear Compatibility: Always wear appropriate basketball socks for cushioning and moisture-wicking.

Compatibility

  • Intended Use: These shoes are primarily designed for indoor basketball court use, though their durable construction may withstand occasional outdoor play. Note that outdoor use can accelerate wear on the outsole.
  • Player Type: Ideal for players who prioritize stability, responsive cushioning, and agile movements, especially those who make frequent cuts, pivots, and jumps.

Care

Proper care will extend the life and maintain the performance of your Nike Book 1 shoes.

  1. Cleaning the Upper:
  • For genuine leather and suede areas, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth.
  • For stubborn dirt, use a specialized leather/suede cleaner according to its instructions. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing.
  • Allow to air dry completely at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat.
  1. Cleaning the Outsole:
  • Use a soft brush and mild soap with water to scrub off dirt and debris from the traction pattern.
  • Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
  1. Drying: Never put your shoes in a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage materials and adhesives. Always air dry.
  2. Storage: Store shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Consider using shoe trees to help maintain their shape.
  3. Odour Control: If odors develop, remove insoles and allow shoes to air out. Odor-absorbing inserts can also be used.
