While Kevin Durant’s all-timer status is already cemented, his hooper soul can’t be soothed unless he’s on the court, perfecting his craft. Put in the work to be great in the Nike KD17 "Black/Iron Grey/University Red/White" Men's Basketball Shoe, a shoe for gym rats and those who insist on running it back. A forefoot Air Zoom unit enhances your first step. We combined it with Nike Air cushioning to fuel full court sprints and defensive stops that can decide games. This special design pays homage to the '90s. It's when KD fell in love with watching basketball legends whom he could model his game after.
Features
The stark whites, dark blues and renowned blacks nod to a nostalgic team and player, who lit up KD’s TV screen with spins, slams and silky jumpers.
A big forefoot Air Zoom unit offers a different level of velocity, either on the run or out of a standstill position. It offers snappy pop when the game revs up. Springy foam helps you stay fresh 'til the final buzzer.
The bottom layer of the upper has Nike Air cushioning at the heel to add a pop in your step. We put a strong plastic piece at the forefoot to help keep you supported.
The outsole pattern looks like a topographical map, with an array of contoured ridges that bend and deflect in multiple directions to provide traction for every move.
