FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor play?
While they feature robust construction, they are optimized for indoor basketball courts to maintain the integrity of the traction pattern and the leather finish.
What does the EP stand for?
EP stands for Engineered Performance, a designation used by Nike for versions of basketball shoes that often feature more durable outsoles and materials.
Does the leather stretch?
The premium leather provides a snug, secure fit. It will form to your foot over time but is not designed to stretch significantly like knit materials.
How do I ensure I have the right size?
The KD 13 series generally fits true to size. If you prefer a looser fit with thicker basketball socks, you may consider a half-size up.
Is the Aunt Pearl model limited edition?
The Aunt Pearl series is a celebrated and iconic part of the KD signature line, often produced in limited colorways that emphasize its unique aesthetic.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight initially
Loosen the laces fully before putting the shoe on and allow for a short break-in period of 2-3 sessions to let the leather naturally contour to your foot.
Reduced grip on the court
Dust often accumulates on the outsole; wipe the bottom of the soles with a damp cloth or a dedicated traction pad to restore grip.
Scuff marks on the pink leather
Use a soft-bristled brush or a gentle leather-safe cleaner to carefully buff out marks without damaging the specialized color finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure you select your correct UK shoe size, as the leather construction provides a firm, snug feel that does not stretch significantly over time. To maintain the appearance and functionality of the leather: 1. Wipe down the shoes with a damp, soft cloth after every game to remove dust and court residue. 2. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the pink material from fading. 3. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can degrade the specialized bonding agents and the integrity of the leather. Use a mild leather cleaner if scuffs occur.
