The Nike KD 18 ‘Soft Pearl’ consists of a cream-coloured mesh upper, which is complemented by light grey leather overlays and shiny metallic accents on the heel and Swoosh. Reflective elements along the upper create subtle highlights that attract attention, especially off the pitch. Visually, the model is inspired by the legendary trail runner Nike Terra Humara, which is particularly evident in the midfoot cage - a structural detail that provides both stability and character.

A personal detail is also new: for the first time, Durant's nickname ‘Easy Money Sniper’ is emblazoned on the inside of the tongue - a tribute to his identity on and off the court. The ‘Heartbeat’ inlay, which was first seen in the ‘Liquid Lime’ colourway, also returns - this time in the form of a mountain silhouette, matching the calm, silver-coloured overall concept.

In terms of performance, the KD 18 remains true to its lineage: dynamic, stable and with comfort for intense moments of play - exactly what you would expect from a signature shoe for one of the most versatile scorers of all time.

The Nike KD 18 ‘Soft Pearl’ will be available on 1 May 2025 at a price of €160. The sneaker will be available in men's sizes.

You can buy the ‘Soft Pearl’ colourway on Nike.com, in the SNKRS app and at selected Nike Basketball retailers worldwide.
