FAQs

What makes the Nike Kybrid S2 'What The' special?

The 'What The' designation signifies a unique colorway that combines elements and color schemes from various iconic Nike sneakers, creating a distinct and eclectic visual appeal. It also features a hybrid cushioning system combining Nike React foam and Zoom Air for balanced comfort and responsiveness.

Is this shoe suitable for all basketball positions?

The Nike Kybrid S2 is designed to offer a balance of cushioning, support, and responsiveness, making it versatile for many playing styles. However, players who prioritize extreme ankle support or maximal cushioning might look for models with those specific focuses.

How durable is the knit upper?

The knit upper is reinforced to provide durability for rigorous on-court action while maintaining a lightweight and breathable feel. However, like all performance footwear, excessive abrasion or sharp impacts can affect its longevity.

What is the primary difference between Nike React foam and Zoom Air?

Nike React foam provides soft, responsive cushioning with a good energy return. Zoom Air offers a more immediate, responsive feel with low-profile cushioning and air units that provide a springy sensation.

Can I wear these shoes for running or other sports?

While the cushioning offers some versatility, these shoes are specifically engineered for basketball. Their support and traction patterns are optimized for lateral movements and court-specific demands. For running, dedicated running shoes are recommended.

When was the Nike Kybrid S2 What The released?

The Nike Kybrid S2 What The was released on September 18th, 2020.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or constricting.

Ensure the laces are not tied too tightly. If the issue persists after a few wears, the knit upper may need time to break in and conform to your foot shape.

Reduced cushioning effectiveness.

The cushioning may feel less responsive over extended periods of heavy use. Ensure the shoes are clean and dry, as dirt or moisture can affect material performance. If significant wear is visible, the midsole components may be nearing the end of their effective lifespan.

Traction is slipping on certain surfaces.

Check the outsole for embedded debris like small stones or dirt. Clean the outsole thoroughly. If the shoe has been worn extensively, the tread pattern may be worn down, reducing optimal grip.

Pros and Cons

Cons

  • The 'What The' colorway might be too bold for players preferring a more understated look.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Nike Kybrid S2 What The requires no specific setup. They are ready to wear out of the box.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball performance, these shoes are optimized for court sports. While they can be worn for casual activities, their specialized features are best utilized during athletic pursuits.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the knit upper with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a brush or damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or original box, to maintain their shape and condition.
