Troubleshooting
Feeling of stiffness in the midsole

Accumulation of dust on the outsole
Wipe the soles with a damp cloth or a specialized grip-enhancing pad to restore traction on the court surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike KD 17 EP trainers, it is recommended to wear them with performance-oriented athletic socks that provide moisture-wicking properties. When sizing, ensure a snug fit around the midfoot, leaving a thumb's width of space at the toes to prevent discomfort during intense activity. For care, avoid machine washing or drying. Instead, wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth and mild soap. Air dry the shoes in a cool, shaded area away from direct heat sources, which can degrade the cushioning materials over time.
