Kevin Durant has had an impressive 2021-22 NBA season. And while his and the fate of his Brooklyn Nets squad within the Playoffs have yet to be determined, the Washington D.C.-native is ushering in his next post-season with the Nike KD 15, his newest signature basketball shoe.
The silhouette is expected to emerge in Nets-friendly, monochromatic styles, but its first two ensembles have favored bold, multi-colored looks that call attention just like Durant’s game. A newly-surfaced colorway pairs a near-florescent “Light Lemon Twist” hue with contrasting hits of fuchsia, purple, blue and red. A nod to the forward’s “@easymoneysniper” Instagram handle appears on the heel’s pull tab, a detail omitted on the KD 14. Zoom Air-cushioning underfoot doesn’t protrude on the sides on the KD 15 as it did on its predecessor, but performance is unlikely to have been negatively impacted by the change.
Enjoy official images of Durant’s latest sneaker offering ahead, and anticipate a Nike.com launch as the end of the NBA season approaches. (Some retailers have informed Sneaker News that the shoes are currently scheduled to release on April 30th, though that date may just be a placeholder for a later launch. In any case, stay tuned.)
