Nike Book 1 Mirage - Size UK 13

'EP' stands for 'Engineered Performance.' This designation means the shoe is built with enhanced durability and specific performance features suitable for rigorous athletic activity, often catering to a slightly wider foot base.

The Nike Book 1 Mirage generally follows standard Nike sizing. However, like many performance basketball shoes, they may require a break-in period. Some users find the EP version to fit slightly wider. It's recommended to try them on if possible or consult size charts carefully.

The shoe features a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot for responsive cushioning and Cushion 2.0 Foam throughout the midsole for impact absorption and comfort.

While durable, the Nike Book 1 EP Mirage is primarily designed for indoor court performance. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may lead to premature wear of the outsole and cushioning.

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, his current NBA team's location.

For the leather, use a damp cloth. For the micro-perforated suede heel collar, use a specialized suede brush or a lightly damp cloth. Avoid soaking the materials and always air dry.

Nike typically offers a limited warranty on manufacturing defects. Specific warranty terms can vary, but it generally covers issues arising from defects in materials or workmanship for a period (often 2 years for certain athletic footwear, but it's best to check the official Nike website or consult the retailer for exact details).

Allow for a proper break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time. Consider using thicker socks during the break-in phase if the shoes feel slightly loose with thinner socks.

Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth or use a small brush to remove dust buildup. Regularly clean the shoes as recommended to maintain outsole performance.

Ensure the laces are tied properly, providing a snug fit around the ankle. Consider using the extra eyelets for a more customized lockdown. If persistent, consult with a specialist about aftermarket insoles or ankle braces.

Some creasing is natural with leather uppers. To minimize, avoid bending the shoes excessively when storing and ensure proper fit. Shoe trees can help maintain shape.
