Kevin Durant's remarkable basketball career is marked by his deep personal connections and a series of Nike signature sneakers that pay tribute to those who've influenced him. With the KD line now entering its 16th model, fans are excitedly awaiting the release of the Aunt Pearl edition and a special version dedicated to Durant's mother, Ms. Wanda, extending a tradition that began in 2012 with the KD 4 Player Exclusive.
The Nike KD 16 Wanda edition is a striking homage, bathed in Ms. Wanda's favorite color, a vibrant green that adorns the upper. This shoe incorporates the signature features of Durant's line, including engineered mesh, luxurious nubuck, and a robust TPU midfoot guard. The tongue and sock liner add a unique touch, featuring a jewelry-inspired graphic adorned with shimmering gold chains and brilliant emeralds, adding a touch of elegance to the design. Notably, the tongue branding blends Durant's familiar KD emblem with a distinctive "WD" logo, a tribute to Wanda Durant. A mint green midsole pairs with a semi-translucent outsole to complete the look.
The Nike KD 16 Wanda is set to arrive November 1st, 2023 in men's sizes for a retail price of $160 via the Nike SNKRS app and at select Nike Basketball retailers. For the latest sneaker news and sneaker release updates, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
