FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball?
Yes, the rubber sole is durable, but be aware that outdoor surfaces will wear down the tread faster than indoor court surfaces.
How should I clean the hieroglyphics on the lace loops?
Use a gentle, damp cloth to lightly dab the area. Avoid harsh chemicals that could strip the metallic finish.
Is the Kyrie 7 true to size?
Most users find that the Kyrie 7 series fits true to size, providing a snug, performance-oriented fit.
Can I put these in the washing machine?
No. Machine washing can damage the 3D components, adhesives, and metallic accents. Always clean by hand.
What is the inspiration behind the Ikhet colorway?
The Ikhet is inspired by ancient Egyptian culture, specifically mirroring the look of artifacts and the history associated with Egyptian mythology.
Do the metallic gold accents peel off?
If handled with care and cleaned properly, they are designed to remain durable, though excessive friction or scraping will eventually cause wear.
Troubleshooting
Difficulty cleaning dirt from the 3D-textured upper
Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate dirt from the recesses without damaging the material structure.
Traction seems reduced on dusty courts
Wipe the rubber outsole with a damp cloth or a traction-enhancing pad to clear away dust buildup.
Creasing on the toe strap
Use a shoe tree when not wearing the trainers to help the upper maintain its original shape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Kyrie 7s maintain their integrity, it is vital to follow proper care protocols.
- Fitting: Ensure you are wearing the correct UK size, as the structure is performance-locked and may not stretch significantly.
- Cleaning: Given the 3D textures, avoid using stiff brushes that might damage the surface details. Use a soft-bristled brush with a mild cleaning solution for the mesh, and wipe the rubber sole with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Keep the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the vibrant teal and gold accents over time.
- Surface Compatibility: While intended for indoor courts, the durable rubber is sufficient for outdoor use; however, rough asphalt will cause significantly faster degradation of the outsole tread.
