They typically fit true to size, but the leather material may feel slightly tighter initially than mesh-based trainers.

Can I use custom orthotics with these shoes?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing for the insertion of custom orthotics if needed.
How should I store these sneakers to keep them in good condition?
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct heat sources to prevent the leather from drying out or cracking.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too stiff upon first wear
Wear them for short practice sessions indoors to allow the leather to naturally mold to your foot shape.
Reduced traction on dusty courts
Wipe the outsoles with a damp towel during timeouts to remove dust buildup and restore grip.
Laces coming untied during play
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are threaded tightly through the top eyelets for a more secure fit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Nike KD 14 EP, start by adjusting the laces to achieve a snug lockdown that does not restrict circulation. Because these are leather-based, avoid exposing them to extreme heat or prolonged direct sunlight, as this can cause the material to crack over time. To clean, wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap; avoid submerging them in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the leather finish and affect the structural integrity of the shoe.
