FAQs

Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?

The Nike KD 18 EP is designed with a standard fit. While it offers some flexibility, players with significantly wide feet may find them more comfortable if they try them on in person or consider sizing up if available and appropriate.

How long does the cushioning last?

The longevity of the cushioning depends on usage frequency, intensity, and court conditions. For regular basketball play, the responsive cushioning is engineered to maintain its performance for a significant number of game hours.

Can these trainers be used for running?

While they offer good cushioning, these trainers are specifically designed for the demands of basketball, focusing on lateral support and quick changes of direction. They are not optimized for the repetitive impact of long-distance running.

What does 'EP' stand for?

'EP' typically stands for 'Extra Performance' or 'Engineering Performance,' often indicating a wider fit or enhanced durability features suitable for outdoor courts or players who require more robust construction.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Ensure there is about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe when standing. The heel should feel snug without slipping, and the midfoot should be securely held.

Are these waterproof?

No, these trainers are not waterproof. They are designed with breathable materials to keep feet cool, which means they are not resistant to water.

Troubleshooting

Shoe feels too tight or constricting.

Loosen the laces, particularly around the midfoot, and re-tie them with even pressure. If the issue persists, consider if the shoe size is appropriate or if the break-in period is needed.

Traction is reduced on dusty courts.

Wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Periodically cleaning the outsole will restore its grip.

Discomfort after initial wear.

Most athletic shoes require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time as they conform to your feet.

Materials feel stiff.

This is normal for new performance footwear. Consistent wear during activities will help soften the materials and improve flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent energy return for explosive movements.
  • Provides reliable support for basketball-specific actions.
  • Good traction for various court surfaces.
  • Comfortable for extended wear due to breathability.

Cons

  • May require a break-in period for optimal comfort.
  • Specific colorways might be limited in availability.
  • Performance can vary based on individual foot shape and play style.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These trainers are ready to wear out of the box. Ensure you lace them properly to achieve the desired snugness and support.

Compatibility: Designed for athletic performance, primarily basketball. They are suitable for both indoor and outdoor court surfaces. Not intended for specialized activities like trail running or heavy weightlifting.

Care Instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to wipe away dirt and dust. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution and water, then wipe clean with a dry cloth. Avoid machine washing.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers at room temperature. Keep them away from direct heat sources like radiators or direct sunlight, as this can damage the materials.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent odor or mildew buildup.
  4. Laces: Check laces regularly for wear and tear and replace if necessary.
