FAQs
What does 'EP' stand for in Nike Book 1 EP Mirage?
'EP' stands for 'Engineered Performance,' indicating the sneaker was designed with enhanced performance and durability in mind, often with a slightly wider fit for a broader range of athletes.
What materials are used in the Nike Book 1 "Mirage (Sail Outsole)" upper?
The upper is constructed with premium leather overlays in Light Orewood Brown and woven textile panels, complemented by micro-perforated suede on the heel collar.
How do the cushioning technologies work?
The midsole features a Zoom Air unit for responsive cushioning and Cushion 2.0 Foam for effective shock absorption during impact.
Is this shoe suitable for outdoor basketball?
While the shoe is durable, it is primarily designed for indoor performance. Extensive use on rough outdoor courts may accelerate wear and tear on the sole.
What inspired the 'Mirage' colorway?
The 'Mirage' colorway draws inspiration from Devin Booker's personal journey from childhood to the NBA, featuring a desert-like design that pays homage to Phoenix.
How should I clean the leather and suede components?
Use a soft, damp cloth for general cleaning. For suede, a specialized suede brush can help maintain its texture. Avoid soaking the shoes or using harsh detergents.
What is the main benefit of the TPU sidewalls?
The TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) sidewalls provide added support and stability, particularly during lateral movements and quick cuts on the basketball court.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight or loose
Adjust the lacing system for a more personalized fit. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size or half-size up/down.
Squeaking noise during play
This can sometimes occur with new shoes. Try playing for a short period to break them in, or check for any debris trapped in the sole.
Reduced grip on court
Ensure the outsole is clean and free of dust or debris. For persistent issues, the rubber compound may have degraded due to excessive wear or exposure to certain surfaces.
Discomfort in heel or ankle
Verify the lacing is snug but not overly tight. The micro-perforated suede collar is designed for comfort, but adjustability via lacing is key.
