FAQs
What is the primary benefit of the Air Zoom and Air cushioning?
The combined Air Zoom and Air cushioning provide comfort, responsiveness, and a snappy feel for all movements on the court.
What is the purpose of the plastic cage?
The plastic cage helps keep your foot secure and provides firmness and support during play.
Are the KD18s suitable for outdoor use?
While they can be used outdoors, they are primarily designed for indoor basketball courts and optimal performance on those surfaces.
How should I clean my KD18s?
Clean them regularly with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What size should I get?
Refer to the size chart and measure your feet carefully. Consider trying them on, if possible, for the best fit.
What is the Cushlon foam used for?
The Cushlon foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation and freshness for long-lasting wear and comfort.
How does the plastic plate underfoot help?
The strong plastic plate directly underfoot conforms as you flex, working with the forefoot Air Zoom unit to give you a snappy first step while also providing support and stability.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight.
Loosen the laces or try a half size larger. Ensure the shoe fits your foot shape.
Cushioning feels flat after use.
Allow the cushioning to rest and 'rebound' after intense use. If the problem persists, consider replacing the insoles.
Soles are wearing out quickly.
Avoid excessive use on abrasive surfaces. Rotate the shoes to extend their lifespan.
Shoe feels unstable during play.
Ensure the shoe is laced correctly and that you have the right size. If issues persist, consider professional fitting.
