Nike KD 17 EP 'Sunrise' - Gold - UK 10.5

EP typically stands for 'Extra Performance' or 'Engineering Performance.' For Nike basketball shoes, it often indicates a wider fit designed to accommodate various foot shapes, particularly for players in East Asian markets, but generally offers a more generous fit.

While these are performance trainers, they are primarily designed for basketball and similar court sports. They offer good support and cushioning for lateral movements but may not be optimized for the specific impact and biomechanics of long-distance running.

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe the gold accents. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, as this could damage the finish.

Wear them around the house for short periods to gradually mold them to your feet. Wearing them with the socks you intend to use can also help achieve the best fit.

The leather construction is not inherently waterproof. While they can handle light moisture, prolonged exposure to heavy rain or wet surfaces is not recommended and may require additional waterproofing treatment.

Refer to the Nike sizing chart and compare it with your foot measurement. Trying them on with your preferred athletic socks is the best way to ensure a comfortable fit, paying attention to length and width.

Loosen the laces, especially around the midfoot and forefoot, and re-tie for a more comfortable fit. Ensure you have the correct UK size for your foot.

Apply a small amount of leather conditioner to the affected areas and gently work it in with a soft cloth. Allow it to absorb before wearing.

This can sometimes occur with new, brightly colored footwear. Wear darker socks initially, or consider a shoe protector spray designed for leather and vibrant colors. Allow the shoes to air out thoroughly before extended wear.
