FAQs
Is the Kyrie Flytrap 4 EP suitable for outdoor courts?
While the shoe is durable, it is optimized for indoor performance. Using them on abrasive outdoor surfaces like concrete may accelerate the wear of the traction pattern.
Does this shoe provide good ankle support?
Yes, the mid-top construction and secure lacing system offer robust ankle support while still allowing for the range of motion needed for quick cuts.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a soft brush or damp cloth with mild soap. Never submerge the shoes in water or place them in a washing machine.
What is the purpose of the 'EP' designation?
The 'EP' stands for Engineered Performance, typically indicating a shoe built with extra durability features to handle the wear and tear of competitive play.
Are these true to size?
Generally, these shoes fit true to standard Nike sizing; however, since they use leather, they may feel slightly snug initially before molding to your foot.
Troubleshooting
Foot slippage inside the shoe during play
Adjust the lacing system to be tighter across the midfoot or use a performance basketball sock with grip technology.
Stiffness in the toe box during initial use
Wear the shoes for light activity or casual practice sessions for 3-5 days to allow the leather to naturally break in and contour to your foot shape.
Reduced traction on dusty surfaces
Wipe the outsole with a slightly damp microfiber towel during timeouts to remove dust buildup and restore grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Nike Kyrie Flytrap 4 EP shoes remain in peak condition, perform a proper lacing setup before your first game to ensure the lockdown is secure but not restrictive. Since these shoes feature leather components, avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the material and compromise the structural integrity. To clean, wipe the exterior with a damp cloth and mild soap, then allow them to air dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Regularly inspect the outsole for debris and wipe clean to maintain maximum traction levels.
