FAQs

What does 'What The' refer to in the shoe's name?

'What The' typically signifies a special edition release that incorporates a mix of various colorways, graphics, and design elements from previous models or iconic Nike releases, creating a unique, eclectic aesthetic.

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Nike Kyrie Hybrid S2 EP features a standard width. While the knit upper offers some flexibility, individuals with very wide feet may find them snug. It is recommended to try them on if possible or consider them alongside the 'Kyrie' sibling models which might offer slight variations.

How do the React foam and Zoom Air work together?

The Nike React foam provides a soft, consistent cushioning base, while the Zoom Air unit, typically placed in the forefoot, offers responsive, low-profile cushioning that returns energy with each step, creating a balanced and dynamic feel.

What is the expected durability of the knit upper?

The knit upper is reinforced for durability during play. However, like most knit materials, it can be susceptible to abrasion or snagging. Proper care and avoiding excessive friction against rough surfaces will help maintain its integrity.

Can I use these shoes for running or training outside of basketball?

While the cushioning is robust, these shoes are specifically designed for the lateral movements, quick stops, and jumps characteristic of basketball. They are not optimized for the repetitive impact of running or the diverse needs of general athletic training.

When was this shoe released?

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

What is the primary color scheme?

The primary color scheme is Black with accents of Atomic Pink.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or loose

Adjust the lacing system. For tightness, loosen the laces. For looseness, tighten them, ensuring the heel is locked in place.

Reduced traction on the court

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is clean.

Discomfort during play

Ensure you have the correct size. Break in the shoes gradually by wearing them for shorter periods before full games. Check if the lacing is providing adequate support without constriction.

Upper material seems dirty

Follow the cleaning instructions using a mild soap and water solution with a soft brush. For stubborn marks, consult specific cleaning guides for knit materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Compatibility:

Optimized for indoor and outdoor basketball courts. Not designed for other sports or activities that involve different types of impact or abrasion.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To clean the knit upper, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution. Gently scrub the affected areas and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
  • 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 in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain the shoe's shape.
  • Lacing: Ensure laces are properly tied for a secure fit, but avoid overtightening, which can strain the upper.
