Back in 2012, Nike Basketball and Kevin Durant joined forces to create a basketball sneaker that left an indelible mark on the industry — the KD 4 Year of the Dragon. The dynamic duo is preparing to release the highly anticipated sequel, the Nike KD 4 Year of the Dragon 2.0, in 2024 featuring a brand-new color scheme.
This exciting news comes hot on the heels of Kevin Durant's recent lifetime deal with Nike, hinting at a wave of retro-inspired colorways on the horizon. The initial reports, brought to light by Kicks Finder on Twitter, have been confirmed, with Nike Basketball slated to drop the KD 4 Year of the Dragon 2.0 in the spring of 2024. After a twelve-year hiatus, fans of the KD line can look forward to a fresh interpretation of this iconic silhouette, paying homage to the revered Chinese zodiac sign, the Year of the Dragon, set to take place in 2024. While images of the Nike KD 4 Year of the Dragon 2.0 have yet to surface, we can envision a captivating blend of Khaki, Noble Red, Sesame, Cacao Wow, and Gum Yellow hues gracing this eagerly awaited release. Anticipate a predominantly Khaki upper, complemented by striking details in Noble Red, Sesame, and Cacao Wow, adding layers of visual intrigue. The signature KD logo will undoubtedly occupy its customary position, while additional embellishments referencing the Year of the Dragon will further enhance the shoe's unique appeal.
The Nike KD 4 Year Of The Dragon 2.0 is prepped for a spring 2024 release. You can expect the pair will drop on the Nike SNKRS app and at select Nike Basketball retailers for $130 on February 7th, 2024.
