FAQs
What does the 'EP' designation mean?
EP stands for Engineered Performance, typically indicating a shoe built with extra durability for harder court surfaces.
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
While the EP construction is durable, they perform best on indoor wood or composite surfaces.
Do these trainers run true to size?
The Kyrie Flytrap 6 EP generally aligns with standard Nike sizing, though the secure fit may feel snug initially.
How should I clean my trainers?
Use a soft brush, mild soap, and water. Air dry away from direct heat sources.
Are these shoes good for players with flat feet?
The internal support structure provides a neutral base, but you may replace the stock insole with custom orthotics if required.
Troubleshooting
Slipping during play
Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth or a traction pad to remove court dust build-up.
Feeling too tight around the midfoot
Adjust the lacing pattern to provide more volume across the instep.
Minor squeaking during movement
This is often caused by the shoe breaking in or dust on the court; it typically dissipates after a few uses.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience, ensure your sizing is accurate to your standard Nike athletic fit. When preparing for use, loosen the laces completely to adjust the tongue and lockdown system to your specific foot width. To maintain the grip quality of the outsole, wipe the rubber surface with a damp cloth after games to remove dust and debris. Always store in a cool, dry place to preserve the integrity of the materials and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme heat.
