FAQs
Are the Nike KD 18 trainers suitable for wide feet?
The KD 18 trainers feature a secure fit system designed for a standard to slightly narrow fit. If you have significantly wide feet, trying them on in person or checking user reviews specifically addressing width is recommended before purchase.
How do I choose the right size?
Refer to Nike's official sizing chart for trainers. Measuring your foot length and comparing it to the chart is the most accurate method. These trainers are designed for a snug, performance fit.
What is the primary benefit of the cushioning system?
The cushioning system is designed for responsive energy return and impact absorption. This helps reduce fatigue and enhances performance during athletic activities like running and jumping.
Can these trainers be used for running marathons?
While they offer excellent cushioning, they are optimized for court sports and explosive movements. For marathon running, specialized running shoes with different cushioning and support structures are generally recommended.
How durable is the outsole on outdoor courts?
The outsole is designed for durability, but its primary traction is optimized for indoor court surfaces. Extended use on abrasive outdoor courts may lead to faster wear compared to indoor play.
What does 'International Blue' refer to in the product name?
'International Blue' refers to the specific colorway of the trainers, indicating the primary blue color with secondary red accents.
Is there a warranty on these trainers?
Nike typically offers a limited warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to the official Nike website or the product packaging for specific warranty details applicable to your region.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or uncomfortable initially.
This is common due to the performance-oriented design. Wear them for short periods initially to allow the materials to break in and mold to your feet. Ensure laces are adjusted properly, not overtightened.
Traction feels slippery on certain surfaces.
Ensure the outsole is clean and free from debris. The grip is optimized for indoor courts. For outdoor or particularly smooth surfaces, grip may vary. Consider a dedicated outsole cleaner if dirt is impacting traction.
Color transfer from red accents to lighter socks.
New footwear can sometimes have excess dye. This is usually temporary. Washing socks before the first wear can help. If the issue persists after several wears, contact customer support.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure they are tied securely to utilize the full benefit of the secure fit system.
Compatibility: Designed primarily for basketball performance, they are also suitable for general athletic training and casual wear. Not recommended for specialized sports requiring different types of ankle support or cleat-based traction.
Care: To maintain the condition of your Nike KD 18 trainers:
- Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and cold water to clean the exterior. Avoid harsh chemicals or machine washing.
- Drying: Allow trainers to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in a shoe bag or box to protect them from dust and damage.
