Nike KD 18 "Slim Reaper"

TLDR: The Nike KD 18 ‘Halloween’ perfectly brings Kevin Durant's ‘Slim Reaper’ persona to the court: black mesh meets a glowing skeleton motif, glow-in-the-dark details and a transparent, phantom green sole create a dark vibe. The sneaker will be available on 21 October 2025 for £210 at Nike and selected retailers.

For this year's Halloween release, Nike has come up with something very special for Kevin Durant's latest silhouette. The Nike KD 18 ‘Halloween’ pays an eerie tribute to the ‘Slim Reaper’ himself, combining modern performance technology with a striking, skeleton-like design.

The upper is made of black mesh and synthetic overlays. A bony handprint runs from the forefoot to the heel, inspired by previous Halloween classics such as the Skeleton Air Force 1.
Particularly impressive: both the bone graphic and the outsole glow in the dark. This gives the shoe a spooky effect in low light conditions.

The design is rounded off by KD branding on the tongue, white Swoosh outlines on the collar and a sole that borrows from the Nike Terra Humara trail model – a tribute to classic Nike DNA. Optional spooky laces and a transparent, slightly greenish shimmering outsole further reinforce the Halloween theme.

The sneaker will be released on 21 October 2025 at a price of £210 in men's sizes.

You can get it via Nike SNKRS, Nike.com and selected Nike basketball retailers – just in time for the spookiest time of the year.
