Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or stiff during initial wear.

This is common with new leather footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially, gradually increasing wear time. Gentle flexing of the shoe can also help soften the materials.

Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces.

Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dust or debris. The traction is optimized for basketball courts; performance may vary on other surfaces. If experiencing issues on a clean court, the break-in period might not be complete.

Color transfer from red overlays to socks.

This can occasionally happen with new, intensely colored materials, especially when wet. This is typically temporary and should reduce with wear. Ensure shoes are fully dry before wearing.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These shoes come ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you have the correct size for optimal fit and performance.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball courts. While the cushioning offers comfort, the traction is optimized for the specific demands of hardwood or similar court surfaces. Not recommended for trail running or rough terrain.

Care: To maintain the pristine condition of your Nike LeBron 21 Prime 96 EP:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and scuffs from the leather and overlays. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: A brush or damp cloth can be used to clean dirt from the sole. Avoid harsh chemicals that could degrade the materials.
  3. Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Avoid direct heat or sunlight, which can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a shoe bag to protect them from dust and maintain shape.
