FAQs
Is the Kyrie Flytrap 4 EP good for outdoor play?
While the construction is durable, the specialized traction pattern is best suited for indoor hardwood surfaces and will wear out faster on rough outdoor concrete.
Does this shoe provide good ankle support?
The Flytrap 4 EP offers a secure lockdown fit, but it features a lower profile design focusing on speed and agility rather than high-top ankle restriction.
Are these true to size?
Most users find they fit true to size, but given the leather material, some prefer a slightly snug fit that stretches to the foot over time.
How do I keep the blue color vibrant?
Keep them out of direct sunlight when not in use and avoid using harsh detergents during cleaning.
What does 'EP' stand for in the model name?
EP stands for Engineered Performance, typically indicating a shoe version with a slightly more durable outsole design compared to the standard model.
Troubleshooting
Slippery feel on the court
Wipe the soles with a slightly damp towel to remove dust accumulation from the court floor.
Stiff fit out of the box
Ensure you are using the correct size; leather requires a short break-in period, so try wearing them during lower-intensity warmups first.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best experience with your Nike Kyrie Flytrap 4 EP:
- Break-in Period: Wear them for a few light practice sessions to allow the leather to conform to your foot shape.
- Surface Compatibility: These are optimized for indoor basketball courts; consistent use on abrasive outdoor asphalt may prematurely wear down the traction pattern.
- Cleaning: Use a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and debris from the outsole after each session to maintain grip. Use a damp cloth to wipe the leather upper; avoid fully submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemicals that could degrade the leather.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material hardening or fading.
