Quick Summary
Nike Basketball has unveiled the KD 19 "Candy Apple," an all-red entry from Kevin Durant's upcoming Candy Paint Pack that leans into a bold, single-color approach across nearly every surface of the shoe. University Red covers the molded upper, laces, midsole, and outsole, with Stadium Green KD logos on the insoles providing the only real contrast in the build.
The KD 19's smoother, more molded construction is easy to appreciate in this colorway. Rather than layering different materials across the upper, Nike opted for a structured shell that wraps the foot and keeps it locked in during quick movements. The standout design element is a dual-injection dagger detail running along the lateral side, which doubles as a support feature for cutting and direction changes. Full-length Zoom Strobel cushioning sits underfoot for a responsive ride, while a multidirectional rubber outsole handles traction. KD branding appears on the tongue, heel, and insoles to complete the build.
The Nike KD 19 "Candy Apple" is set to release on July 15, 2026 via Nike and select Nike Basketball retailers for a retail price of $155. To stay informed on all things Nike and to stay up to date with the latest releases, connect with us on Instagram and Twitter.
