FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for wide feet?
The KD 14 features a regular fit. While the lacing system allows for some adjustment, individuals with significantly wide feet may find them snug. Trying them on is recommended if possible.
Can I use these for running or training outside of basketball?
These shoes are specifically designed for basketball, prioritizing court-specific features like multi-directional traction and ankle support. They are not optimized for running or general training activities and may wear out faster if used for such purposes.
How do I clean the rubberized strap?
The rubberized strap can be cleaned with a damp cloth. Gently wipe away any dirt or sweat. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.
What is the main advantage of the rubberized strap?
The rubberized strap provides an extra layer of lockdown and support for the midfoot, helping to secure the foot in place during dynamic movements and preventing slippage within the shoe.
How does the cushioning perform during impact?
The cushioning is designed to be responsive and absorb impact effectively, providing comfort during jumps and landings, and helping to reduce stress on the joints during play.
What does the 'multi-directional traction outsole' mean?
This refers to the tread pattern on the bottom of the shoe, which is designed with various grooves and shapes to provide grip in all directions, allowing for quick cuts, stops, and changes of pace on the court.
Troubleshooting
Shoe feels too tight
Loosen the laces and adjust the rubberized strap. Ensure the correct size has been selected.
Losing traction on court
Clean the outsole to remove dust and debris. Ensure the court surface is dry.
Discomfort around the ankle
Ensure the padded collar is positioned correctly and laces are adjusted for a comfortable, supportive fit without being overly tight.
Material creasing or wear
Normal wear and tear can occur with athletic use. To minimize, avoid excessive flexing when not in use and store properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: These are basketball shoes and require no setup. Simply lace them up for a secure fit.
Compatibility: Designed for indoor basketball courts. Not recommended for outdoor use as it can accelerate outsole wear.
Care:
- Cleaning the Upper: Gently spot clean the mesh and leather materials with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh detergents or soaking the shoes.
- Cleaning the Outsole: Use a brush to remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole. A damp cloth can be used for stubborn marks.
- Drying: Allow shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
