FAQs
What makes the 'What The' design unique?
The 'What The' design is an amalgamation of various iconic Nike Kyrie and other Nike sneaker elements, creating a visually eclectic and distinctive look that celebrates the history of the line.
Is this shoe suitable for outdoor basketball?
While durable, these shoes are primarily designed for indoor court performance. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces can lead to premature wear of the outsole and cushioning.
How do I ensure I get the right size?
Refer to Nike's official sizing charts and compare with your foot measurements. For the Kyrie Hybrid S2, consider if you prefer a snug or slightly roomier fit and adjust accordingly, as some users find Nike sizing runs slightly narrow.
What is the primary benefit of the Nike React foam and Zoom Air combination?
This combination provides a balance of soft, responsive cushioning (React) and immediate, low-profile impact protection (Zoom Air), enhancing comfort and performance during high-impact activities.
Can I wash these shoes in a washing machine?
It is not recommended to machine wash these shoes. Hand washing with mild soap and water is the safest method to preserve the materials and structure.
What is the expected lifespan of these basketball shoes?
The lifespan varies greatly depending on playing frequency, intensity, playing surface, and care. With proper care and moderate use, they are designed to withstand a significant amount of on-court action.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or uncomfortable.
Ensure laces are adjusted properly. The shoe may require a break-in period; wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction seems reduced on court.
Clean the outsole thoroughly with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris that might be hindering grip. Ensure the court surface is also clean.
Discoloration or material damage.
Avoid exposing the shoes to excessive heat, direct sunlight, or harsh chemicals. Follow the recommended cleaning instructions carefully.
Squeaking sound during movement.
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try to identify the source of the squeak (e.g., laces, tongue, or internal components) and adjust accordingly. Sometimes, minor wear can resolve this.
