FAQs
Is the Nike KD 13 EP Aunt Pearl suitable for outdoor courts?
While the shoe is durable, the EP (Engineered Performance) outsole is optimized for indoor surfaces. Frequent outdoor use may wear down the traction pattern faster.
Does the shoe provide good ankle support?
Yes, the KD 13 provides a stable lockdown, which contributes to overall support for the ankle and midfoot during lateral movements.
How should I store these shoes to maintain the color?
Keep them in a climate-controlled environment away from direct UV light to prevent the pink material from discoloring.
Is this a unisex model?
The KD 13 EP Aunt Pearl is specifically listed in men's sizing, but the design is suitable for any player who prefers this fit and aesthetic.
Can I use an insole with this shoe?
The shoe includes a performance-grade insole, but if you require medical orthotics, the stock insole can be removed to accommodate them.
Troubleshooting
Outer material showing scuffs
Gently buff the scuff with a clean, soft cloth and a specialized leather cleaner to restore the finish.
Reduced traction during play
Wipe the outsole with a damp towel to remove court dust buildup, which is the primary cause of slipping.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Nike KD 13 EP Aunt Pearl, follow these guidelines:
- Sizing: These shoes follow standard Nike men's sizing. If you have worn the KD series previously, stick to your typical size. If this is your first pair, consider visiting a store to verify your fit.
- Break-in: As these are primarily leather, they may feel slightly stiff out of the box. Wear them during light shoot-arounds before transitioning to intense game sessions to allow the leather to mold to your foot.
- Cleaning: Since the shoe features a light pink finish, avoid using harsh industrial cleaners. Wipe the leather with a soft, damp cloth after each use to remove court dust. For tougher stains, use a mild leather-safe detergent.
- Storage: Always store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the vibrant color from fading.
