FAQs

What does 'EP' stand for in Nike KD 18 EP?

EP typically stands for 'Extra Performance' or 'Engineered Performance.' It often signifies features tailored for wider foot shapes or enhanced durability, making them suitable for more demanding conditions, potentially including outdoor play.

How do I best break in these basketball trainers?

Wear them for short periods during non-strenuous activities or light practice. Gradually increase the duration of wear as the materials adapt to your foot's shape, ensuring a comfortable and secure fit for game time.

Are these trainers suitable for other sports besides basketball?

While designed with basketball-specific features like enhanced grip and ankle support, they can be used for other court sports. However, their performance may not be optimized for activities with different movement patterns.

What is the main benefit of the KD 18 EP's cushioning system?

The cushioning system is engineered to provide a balance of impact absorption to protect your feet during hard landings and energy return to help you feel responsive during quick movements on the court.

How should I clean the 'Clear Jade Liquid Lime' colorway?

Use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. For tougher stains, a mild soap solution with a soft brush can be used, followed by wiping with a clean damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.

Can I adjust the fit of the Nike KD 18 EP?

Yes, the trainers feature a lacing closure system that allows you to adjust the tightness for a personalized and secure fit according to your preference and foot shape.

Troubleshooting

Slightly tight fit initially.

Wear the trainers for short periods to allow them to mold to your feet. Adjust lacing to find a comfortable balance between snugness and freedom of movement.

Traction feels less effective on dusty surfaces.

Wipe the outsoles with a damp cloth or use a soft brush to remove accumulated dust, restoring optimal grip.

Color appears different than online photos.

Color perception can vary based on screen settings and lighting. The 'Clear Jade Liquid Lime' and black combination is designed to be vibrant under various conditions.

Care:

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Using a shoe tree can help maintain their shape.
