FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for outdoor courts?

How does the KD 13 EP fit?
The KD 13 generally follows standard Nike sizing; however, the leather construction provides a snug, locked-in fit.
What is the significance of the Aunt Pearl edition?
The Aunt Pearl edition is a tribute to Kevin Durant's late aunt and serves as a symbolic release within his signature series.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the leather and the cushioning technology. Only use manual surface cleaning methods.
Does this model come in other colors?
This guide focuses on the Aunt Pearl pink edition, which is the signature colorway for this specific release.
Is the leather upper breathable?

Troubleshooting
Laces coming undone during play
Use a double-knot technique or replace with high-friction performance laces.
Outsole collecting dust affecting traction
Wipe the bottom of the soles with a slightly damp microfiber towel during timeouts.
Creasing on the leather upper
Use a sneaker shield or shoe tree when not wearing to help maintain the structure of the toe box.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance from your Nike KD 13s, make sure to lace them snugly before play to secure your midfoot. These shoes are designed as basketball performance gear and are compatible with most standard athletic socks. For care, wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth after each use to remove dust and sweat. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners, as these can degrade the vibrant pink finish. Store your sneakers in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the integrity of the materials.
