James18th generation ep means EP=EngineeredPerformance, which literally means a pair of performance-oriented basketball shoes, high-end basketball shoes with excellent performance. In fact, it means "specially designed for Asian feet and basketball outfield", which generally only appears on shoes sold in Asia.
EP mostly appeared in basketball shoes of Kobe, James, Durant, Owen and other stars, and later began to appear in basketball shoes of high-end teams such as HYPERDUNK.
