FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?

These trainers are primarily designed for indoor court performance. Using them on rough outdoor surfaces may accelerate wear and tear on the outsole.

How do I determine the correct size?

The product lists UK sizing. It is recommended to consult Nike's official sizing chart or measure your foot length and compare it to the provided size guide for the best fit.

What makes the G.T. Cut series unique?

The G.T. Cut series focuses on innovative designs aimed at enhancing court responsiveness, control, and comfort for basketball players, enabling quick movements and stability.

Can these trainers be machine washed?

It is not recommended to machine wash these trainers. Hand cleaning with a damp cloth is the preferred method to maintain the integrity of the materials and construction.

What is the primary benefit of the cushioning?

The cushioning is designed to absorb impact from jumping and landing, providing comfort and helping to reduce stress on the feet and joints during intense activity.

What does 'EP' stand for in the product name?

EP typically stands for 'Enlarged Periphery' or 'Extra Platform,' often indicating a wider fit or outsole base designed for players in Asian markets, though it generally offers a robust fit for many.

Troubleshooting

Traction feels reduced

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

Discomfort during first use

Allow for a break-in period of a few sessions. Wear them for shorter durations initially and gradually increase wear time.

Slightly loose fit

Ensure the laces are tied securely, adjusting for a snug fit. If the looseness persists across the width, consider using insoles or thicker socks.
