Full details

Its key benefit is the combination of lightweight support, flexibility, and advanced cushioning for peak on-court performance, while its striking design celebrates Kevin Durant's legacy.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for outdoor courts?

While the design prioritizes performance, the primary intended use is for indoor courts. Extended use on abrasive outdoor surfaces may accelerate outsole wear.

How do I choose the correct size?

The product is listed in UK adult sizing. It is recommended to refer to a standard Nike sizing chart or try them on if possible, as the fit can vary slightly between models.

What makes the 'Slim Reaper' edition special?

The 'Slim Reaper' edition often features unique colorways and design elements inspired by Kevin Durant's playing style and personal motifs, offering a distinct visual identity.

Can I wear these for running or other sports?

These trainers are specifically optimized for basketball. While they can be worn for casual running, they lack the specialized support and cushioning found in dedicated running shoes.

How do I clean the upper material?

Use a soft brush or cloth with mild soap and water to gently clean the upper. Avoid submerging the shoes or using harsh cleaning agents.

What is the warranty on these trainers?

Warranty information typically varies by retailer and region. Please refer to the purchase point or Nike's official website for specific warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Slight tightness or discomfort during initial wear

This is common with performance footwear. Wear the shoes for short periods initially and gradually increase duration to allow them to break in and mold to your foot.

Reduced grip on court surfaces

Ensure the outsole is clean and free from dust or debris. If the issue persists, the outsole may be worn down and could benefit from replacement by a professional.

Color transfer to socks

This can occasionally happen with new, brightly colored footwear. It is often reduced after a few wears or washes of the socks. If significant, ensure the socks are of a darker color.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Nike KD 17 EP 'Slim Reaper' trainers are ready to wear out of the box. It is recommended to wear them for a few short sessions to allow the materials to conform to your foot shape for optimal comfort and performance.

Compatibility: These trainers are specifically designed for athletic activities, primarily basketball. They are compatible with standard athletic socks. They are intended for male adults.

Care: To maintain the condition of your trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Gently clean the exterior with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the trainers naturally. Do not expose them to direct heat sources like radiators or hairdryers, as this can damage the materials.
