FAQs

What does 'EP' stand for in the shoe's name?

'EP' stands for 'Engineered Performance,' indicating that the sneaker is specifically designed with enhanced performance and durability in mind for athletic use.

What materials are used in the Nike Book 1 'Mirage'?

The shoe features a combination of leather and woven textile panels for the upper, with micro-perforated suede on the heel collar. The midsole includes Zoom Air and Cushion 2.0 Foam, and there are reinforced TPU sidewalls.

Is this shoe suitable for outdoor basketball courts?

While the shoe is durable, it is primarily designed for indoor court performance. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may accelerate wear on the outsole and impact overall performance.

How do I clean the 'Mirage' colorway?

Use a damp cloth with a mild soap solution for the leather and textile parts. Gently brush any dirt and wipe clean. Allow to air dry completely.

What inspired the 'Mirage' colorway?

The 'Mirage' colorway draws inspiration from Devin Booker's journey from childhood to the NBA, featuring a desert-like design that pays homage to Phoenix.

What is the main benefit of the TPU sidewalls?

The TPU sidewalls provide enhanced lateral support, helping to keep your foot secure during quick cuts, pivots, and side-to-side movements on the court.

Are these shoes good for wide feet?

The shoe offers a standard fit. While the materials have some give, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug and should consider trying them on before purchasing if possible.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight upon initial wear

The shoes may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Ensure laces are adjusted properly, not overtightened.

Laces come undone frequently

Ensure laces are tied securely using a double knot. Consider replacing the laces with a textured or thicker pair that offers better grip.

Slipping on the court

Ensure the court surface is clean and free of dust or debris. The outsole grip is optimized for standard basketball courts. Check if the outsole is excessively worn.

Discomfort during high impact movements

Verify the correct shoe size. While designed with cushioning, individual foot mechanics vary. Ensure you are properly using the shoe's support features during movements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Responsive cushioning for impact absorption.
  • Durable construction with quality materials.
  • Provides good lateral support and stability.
  • Comfortable and secure heel lockdown.

Cons

  • The 'Mirage' colorway might be too specific for some users.
  • May require a short break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Primarily designed for court performance, may not be ideal for everyday casual wear.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Nike Book 1 'Mirage' comes ready to wear. Ensure the fit is snug but not overly tight by adjusting the lacing system before play.

Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball performance on indoor courts. Can also be worn for general athletic training. Not optimized for trail running or extreme outdoor conditions.

Care:

  1. Cleaning the Upper: Gently wipe the leather and textile upper with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild soap solution and a soft brush, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Cleaning the Midsole and Outsole: Use a damp cloth to wipe away dirt and debris. A soft brush can be used for textured areas.
  3. Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not use direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape during drying.
  4. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
