FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for outdoor courts?

The KD 17 EP 'Sunrise' trainers are designed for performance on basketball courts. While they can be used on outdoor courts, frequent use on abrasive surfaces may accelerate outsole wear.

How do I know if the EP fit is right for me?

EP (Engineered Performance) fit is generally designed to accommodate a wider range of foot shapes, often providing a bit more room in the forefoot and midfoot compared to standard fits. If you typically find standard-width shoes constricting, the EP fit might be beneficial.

What is the recommended sock type for these trainers?

For optimal performance and comfort, wear these trainers with athletic-specific socks. Moisture-wicking materials are recommended to keep your feet dry during play.

Can I machine wash these trainers?

No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the materials, adhesives, and structural integrity of the shoes.

What does 'EP' stand for in the product name?

EP stands for 'Engineered Performance'. This indicates the shoe is designed to accommodate a wider foot shape, offering a more inclusive fit for athletes.

How do I clean the University Gold/Black/Safety Orange colorway?

Use a soft cloth and a mild soap and water solution for cleaning. Gently wipe away dirt and stains. Ensure to air dry thoroughly away from direct heat.

Troubleshooting

Shoes feel too tight during initial wear.

Allow for a break-in period of a few on-court sessions. Wear with appropriate athletic socks. If discomfort persists, consider if the EP fit is suitable for your foot shape.

Traction seems less effective on dusty courts.

Wipe down the outsole periodically with a damp cloth to remove dust and debris. Clean courts will always provide better grip.

Leather upper shows scuffs or marks.

Use a leather cleaner specifically designed for athletic shoes to gently remove marks. For minor scuffs, a soft, dry cloth might be sufficient.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

These trainers are ready to wear out of the box, though a short break-in period is recommended for optimal comfort and performance. They are designed for indoor and outdoor basketball courts. To care for your Nike KD 17 EP "Sunrise" trainers:

  1. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or cloth to remove dirt and debris. For tougher spots, use a mild soap with water and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
  2. Drying: Air dry the shoes away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight. Stuffing them with paper can help absorb moisture and maintain shape.
  3. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, preferably in their original box or a breathable shoe bag to maintain their condition.
