Nike KD 17 - Trainers - UK 3.5

The Nike KD 17 trainers are specifically engineered for basketball and court sports, offering optimal support, cushioning, and traction for these activities. While they are comfortable, they may not be ideal for activities like running or weightlifting where different types of footwear are recommended.

The best fit is achieved when the shoe feels snug but not constricting. Your heel should feel locked in, and there should be adequate space in the toe box for your toes to move slightly. Try them on with the type of socks you typically wear for basketball.

The full-length Zoom Air Strobel cushioning provides an extremely plush feel directly underfoot, enhancing comfort and delivering exceptional responsiveness and energy return during play.

For best results, spot clean the trainers using a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals. Allow them to air dry naturally.

'Light Iron Ore' refers to the primary grey colorway, while 'Metallic Gold' describes the accent colors used on the shoe, adding a premium visual element.

While the durable construction can handle some outdoor use, these trainers are primarily designed for indoor courts. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may lead to faster wear of the outsole and upper materials.

This can sometimes occur with new shoes due to air trapped between layers. Try wearing them for a few more sessions to break them in. Ensure laces are tied correctly and not too tight or too loose.

The lightweight mesh upper is designed to conform to your foot over time. Wear the shoes for short periods initially to break them in gradually. Ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks.

Dust can accumulate on the outsole, reducing grip. Periodically wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. For persistent issues, consider a court-cleaning wipe.
