FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor basketball courts?
While the herringbone traction is durable, the leather construction and Air Zoom unit are optimized primarily for indoor performance. Excessive use on rough outdoor concrete may accelerate wear on the outsole.
How should I clean the white leather upper?
Use a soft cloth dampened with mild soapy water. Gently wipe the surface and dry immediately with a clean towel. Avoid machine washing.
Do the Nike Book 2 trainers run true to size?
They are designed for a snug, secure performance fit. If you prefer a looser feel or have wider feet, you may want to consider a half-size increase.
Can I replace the insole with custom orthotics?
Yes, the insoles are removable, allowing you to swap them for your preferred custom orthotic supports.
What is the primary difference between this and casual lifestyle sneakers?
This is a performance-first shoe featuring specialized basketball technology like the Air Zoom unit and midfoot lockdown, which standard lifestyle sneakers often lack.
Troubleshooting
Traction feels slippery on dusty courts
Regularly wipe the soles with a damp towel or your hand to clear accumulated dust and debris from the herringbone pattern.
Foot feeling restricted across the midfoot
Loosen the lacing system near the midfoot webbing to allow more volume and break-in the leather upper.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longest lifespan for your Nike Book 2 trainers, follow these maintenance tips. Since these contain leather, avoid submerging them in water or using harsh industrial cleaners. If the shoes get dusty from court play, use a soft-bristled brush to gently remove debris from the herringbone grooves to maintain traction. To clean the leather, wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources to prevent cracking. For the best fit, ensure you are wearing athletic-grade socks that match the volume of the shoe. If the fit feels too tight upon initial wear, loosen the laces significantly starting from the bottom eyelets to allow the leather to naturally expand and conform to your foot shape over time.
