FAQs

Is this shoe good for indoor courts?

While optimized for outdoors, the rubber outsole performs well on most surfaces, though indoor hardwood specific shoes may offer different traction patterns.

Does this model come in different widths?

The Nike Air Zoom GT Run EP generally follows a standard athletic fit; if you have wider feet, you may need to size up by a half size.

Can these be used for running?

These are designed specifically for basketball movements (lateral cuts, jumping) rather than long-distance linear running.

How do I determine my size?

The sizes listed are in UK sizing; refer to the Nike official size guide to convert to your regional standard if necessary.

How long should the cushioning last?

With regular use, the Zoom Air and React foam are designed to retain their properties for an average full basketball season depending on intensity.

Troubleshooting

Foot slipping inside the shoe during play

Ensure the laces are tightened properly, focusing on the eyelets near the ankle to maximize lockdown.

Dirt buildup on the outsole reducing grip

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth after each outdoor session to restore traction.

Shoes feeling too tight

Try thinner athletic socks or check if the lacing system is overtightened across the midfoot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best experience, break in your shoes by wearing them for light workouts before taking them into a competitive game. For cleaning, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris from the outsole. If the upper becomes dirty, gently wipe it with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could damage the synthetic materials. Always air-dry the shoes away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, to prevent warping or adhesive damage.
