FAQs

What does 'What The' mean in the shoe's name?

'What The' is a design theme by Nike that combines elements from various previous shoe releases into one unique colorway, creating a distinctive, often eclectic, appearance.

Is this shoe suitable for professional basketball play?

The Nike PG 6 line is designed with basketball performance in mind, featuring cushioning and support. While suitable for many players, professional-level play may involve highly specific footwear needs. It is generally considered a high-performance shoe for serious players.

What material is the upper primarily made of?

The upper of the Nike PG 6 'What The' is primarily constructed from leather, offering a durable and premium feel.

How does the React foam sole compare to other Nike cushioning technologies?

React foam is known for its balance of softness and responsiveness. It provides a durable, cushioned ride that returns energy, often feeling slightly firmer and more responsive than softer foams like Lunarlon, and more cushioned than traditional EVA.

Can I machine wash these sneakers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and overall structure of the shoe. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.

What other colorways or sizes are available in the PG 6 series?

The PG 6 series has multiple colorways and sizes. This guide focuses on the 'What The' edition in Yellow, UK size 6. Other variants include different color combinations and sizes like UK 10.5, UK 10, UK 9.5, UK 5.5, UK 7, UK 12, and UK 13.

Does the icy outsole provide good grip in wet conditions?

Icy outsoles are designed for optimal grip on clean indoor courts. While they offer good traction, performance on very wet or slick outdoor surfaces may be reduced compared to specialized wet-traction outsoles.

Troubleshooting

Sizing feels incorrect

Refer to Nike's official sizing charts to confirm your correct UK size. Consider the specific fit of the PG 6 model, which may differ slightly from other Nike series. Trying them on if possible is recommended.

Traction feels reduced on certain surfaces

Ensure the icy outsole is clean. Dust, dirt, or residue can accumulate and reduce grip. Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth. The icy finish may also perform differently on very slick or wet surfaces compared to dry ones.

React foam feels too firm or too soft

The React foam is designed to offer a specific balance of cushioning and responsiveness. Break-in periods can vary; wear the shoes for several sessions to allow them to conform to your foot. If the feel is significantly off, ensure you have the correct size, as an improper fit can affect perceived cushioning.

Discoloration or material wear

Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight and harsh chemicals. Follow the recommended cleaning and care instructions. Minor scuffs from use are normal for athletic footwear.

Pros and Cons

  • Distinctive and eye-catching multi-color design.
  • Comfortable and responsive cushioning with React foam.
  • Good traction provided by the icy outsole.
  • Durable leather construction for long-lasting wear.
  • Versatile for both athletic and casual use.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

These sneakers require no setup. They are ready to wear straight out of the box.

Compatibility:

The Nike PG 6 'What The' is designed for versatile use. While optimized for athletic activities like basketball and training, they are also compatible with casual wear. The sizing is based on UK adult foot measurements.

Care Instructions:

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away surface dirt. For stubborn stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  • Drying: Allow the sneakers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the color and material integrity. Consider using shoe trees to help them retain their shape.
