FAQs
Is the Nike KD 13 EP Aunt Pearl suitable for outdoor courts?
While durable, the shoe is primarily designed for indoor hardwood performance to maintain the integrity of the outsole and leather.
How should I clean the leather upper?
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid submerging the shoe in water.
Does this shoe provide good arch support?
Yes, the KD 13 series is built with internal support structures intended to provide stable arch support for athletes.
Are these shoes true to size?
They generally follow standard Nike sizing, though the leather upper may feel snug initially before molding to your foot shape.
What is the purpose of the 'EP' designation?
The EP designation in Nike basketball shoes typically denotes a wider fit and a more durable outsole, ideal for high-impact use.
Troubleshooting
Feeling tightness in the mid-foot
Loosen the laces starting from the eyelets closest to the toe to allow for a better break-in process for the leather.
Accumulation of dust on the outsole
Use a damp, non-abrasive cloth to wipe the sole, which will restore the original level of court grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For optimal performance, ensure you are wearing appropriate athletic socks to prevent friction. To maintain the leather upper, wipe down the exterior with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove court dust. If the shoes become wet, air dry them naturally away from direct heat sources, as extreme temperatures can damage the leather and the cushioning materials. Check your specific UK size (e.g., 7.5) to ensure the secure fit intended by the KD series design.
