FAQs
Are the Nike KD 13 EP Aunt Pearl shoes suitable for outdoor courts?
Yes, they feature a durable outsole, but note that concrete can cause faster wear on the tread pattern compared to indoor courts.
How do I maintain the vibrant pink color?
Keep the shoes out of direct sunlight when not in use and clean them regularly with a soft cloth to avoid permanent staining.
Do these shoes run true to size?
Most users find that they fit true to size, but those who prefer a roomier fit or wear thick performance socks may consider sizing up by a half size.
Can I use these for sports other than basketball?
While designed for basketball, their support and traction make them suitable for other court-based activities like volleyball or pickleball.
Are these shoes machine washable?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the internal support structure. Always clean them by hand.
Troubleshooting
Laces coming untied during play
Use a double-knot or ensure the laces are pulled tight from the bottom eyelets upward to secure the tension.
Accumulated dirt on the pink leather
Use a specialized leather cleaner or a mild soap solution with a soft-bristled brush, followed by wiping with a clean, dry microfiber cloth.
Reduced traction on dusty floors
Wipe the outsole with a damp towel or use a sticky traction pad to remove dust buildup during timeouts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Nike KD 13 EP, start by adjusting the lacing system to achieve a snug but comfortable fit across the midfoot. For care, it is recommended to wipe the leather upper with a soft, damp cloth after every use to prevent dust from settling into the grain. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can damage the finish and the leather material. Store the shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent color fading and leather cracking. If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally at room temperature rather than using a direct heat source like a radiator.
