FAQs
What does the 'EP' designation mean?
EP stands for Engineered Performance, indicating the shoe features a more durable outsole designed for a wider variety of court surfaces, including outdoor play.
How do I maintain the glow-in-the-dark feature?
Regular exposure to natural or artificial light will keep the glowing effect active.
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The KD series typically offers a snug, performance-oriented fit. If you have very wide feet, you may consider going up half a size for comfort.
Can I use these shoes on indoor courts?
Yes, while they are built for durability, the traction pattern is designed to perform exceptionally well on clean indoor surfaces.
How should I store these to prevent damage?
Store them in the original box in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the materials and the graphic design.
Troubleshooting
Outsole loses glow effect
Expose the outsole to bright sunlight or a strong UV light source for 30 minutes to 'charge' the phosphorescent material.
Loss of traction during play
Wipe the soles with a slightly damp cloth to remove accumulated court dust and debris.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike KD 18 EP, keep the shoes away from extreme heat sources which can warp the cushioning components. When cleaning the midfoot cage or the upper, use a soft-bristled brush with mild soap and cold water; avoid abrasive scrubbing on the skeleton graphic to prevent fading. For the outsole, wipe away dust with a damp cloth after each game to maintain traction. Ensure the shoes are fully air-dried in a shaded area away from direct sunlight, which can cause material degradation over time.
