FAQs
What does 'EP' mean on these trainers?
'EP' stands for Extra Performance. This version of the shoe is specifically designed and tested for durability and traction on outdoor court surfaces.
Are these shoes suitable for casual wear?
Yes, while designed for performance, the Nike LeBron 17 EP 'Courage' trainers also feature a stylish aesthetic that makes them suitable for casual wear.
How do I know if I have the right size?
Try them on with your preferred athletic socks. There should be about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe. Ensure the heel does not slip excessively and the midfoot feels snug but not constricting.
Can I wash these trainers in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Machine washing can damage the materials, adhesives, and cushioning systems. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method.
What is the main difference between EP and standard versions?
The EP version typically features a more durable outsole rubber and a specific outsole pattern optimized for the higher friction and wear found on outdoor courts. Standard versions are usually geared more towards indoor court performance.
What kind of socks should I wear with these?
For optimal comfort and performance, it's recommended to wear athletic or basketball-specific socks. These socks are designed to wick away moisture and provide additional cushioning and support.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or stiff.
Allow for a break-in period of a few hours of wear. Wear them with athletic socks to help them mold to your feet.
Traction is reduced on indoor courts.
The EP version is optimized for outdoor use. For best indoor performance, ensure the soles are clean. Consider a different shoe model if primarily playing indoors.
Difficulty lacing securely.
Ensure laces are threaded through all eyelets properly. Experiment with different lacing techniques for a more customized fit.
Visible cushioning unit appears damaged.
Check for any obvious tears or punctures. If the cushioning unit is compromised, discontinue use and consult product warranty information.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they fit snugly but comfortably before engaging in athletic activity.
Compatibility: The EP (Extra Performance) version is optimized for outdoor court surfaces like asphalt and concrete. While they can be worn on indoor courts, their primary design advantage is on rougher terrains. They are compatible with standard athletic socks.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Nike LeBron 17 EP 'Courage' trainers:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe down the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. For the sole, a brush can be used to remove debris from the treads.
- Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in a tumble dryer, as this can damage the materials.
- Storage: Store the shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape.
