Introducing the Nike KD
The Nike KD line, introduced in 2008 with the KD 1, was developed in collaboration with NBA star Kevin Durant to create a basketball shoe suited to his versatile, high-scoring style.
Each model focuses on lightweight construction, responsive cushioning, and court traction, often incorporating Zoom Air units and innovative materials to support Durant’s agility, speed, and lateral movement. The designs frequently feature personal and cultural storytelling, with colorways and graphics reflecting Durant’s journey and influences.
