FAQs
Are these shoes true to size?
The Nike LeBron 16 EP generally fits true to size, but the performance-oriented snug fit may feel restrictive for those with wider feet.
Can I use these for running?
While durable, these are specialized basketball trainers optimized for court-specific movements rather than long-distance running.
How do I clean the gold detailing?
Gently wipe the gold areas with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive brushes which could strip the metallic finish.
What does EP stand for?
EP stands for Engineered Performance, indicating that the shoe has been adjusted for enhanced durability and traction on outdoor or intensive court surfaces.
Do these shoes provide arch support?
Yes, the mid-foot construction is designed to provide significant support for the arch, helping to maintain stability during lateral cuts.
Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole
The shoe requires a break-in period; wear them for short durations during light drills to allow the cushioning to mold to your foot.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole affecting grip
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp microfiber cloth to restore traction before play.
Discomfort around the ankle collar
Ensure the laces are adjusted evenly to distribute pressure and consider using higher-performance basketball socks for added cushioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Nike LeBron 16 EP, ensure you are wearing the correct size, as the snug fit is intentional for performance. For maintenance, avoid machine washing or drying. Clean the exterior leather and synthetic materials using a soft, damp cloth with mild soap. If the shoes become damp during play, remove the insoles and allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent material warping. Always store in a cool, dry place to preserve the integrity of the cushioning units.
