FAQs
What makes the 'EP' version different?
The EP (Extra Performance) designation typically means the shoe is designed for durability and traction on a wider variety of court surfaces, including outdoor courts, which can be rougher than indoor hardwood.
Are these shoes suitable for everyday casual wear?
Yes, while designed for basketball, the style and comfort of the Nike PG 5 EP make them suitable for casual everyday wear.
How do I clean the white leather material?
Use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Wipe gently and rinse with a clean damp cloth. Always allow to air dry.
What is the inspiration behind the colorway?
The colorway features white with red accents and is inspired by the PlayStation gaming console, reflecting a collaboration theme.
Is this shoe good for players needing ankle support?
The PG 5 EP is a low-top trainer, prioritizing ankle mobility. Players who require maximum ankle support might prefer higher-cut basketball shoes.
What size are these trainers?
These specific trainers are listed in UK size 13 for adult males.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.
The leather upper may require a break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. You can also try using a shoe stretcher for persistent tightness.
Traction is reduced on dusty courts.
Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth to remove accumulated dust and debris. The rubber outsole performs best when clean.
Leather shows scuff marks.
Gently clean the scuff marks with a damp cloth and mild soap solution. For deeper scuffs, a leather conditioner or cleaner designed for athletic shoes may be used.
Laces are wearing out.
Replace worn laces with standard athletic shoe laces of a similar length and material. Ensure the new laces are securely tied.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Compatibility: The Nike PG 5 EP is designed for basketball performance on various court surfaces, including indoor hardwood and outdoor asphalt or concrete. They are compatible with standard athletic wear.
Care:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris from the leather upper. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used sparingly, followed by a clean damp cloth. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: Allow the trainers to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place them near direct heat sources like radiators or in direct sunlight, as this can damage the leather and adhesives.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Using shoe trees can help maintain their shape. Avoid storing in plastic bags, which can trap moisture.
