The KD 17, which is part of Nike's 2024 summer collection, brings a fresh perspective to Kevin Durant's signature shoe range. This model pays tribute to the Air Max Plus and features a striking design with undulating vertical lines reminiscent of the Air Max Plus' thermoplastic veins.

The "Sunrise" colourway of the KD 17, characterised by the colours University Gold, Black and Safety Orange, is inspired by the vibrant aesthetic of a sunrise and reflects a dynamic colour palette. Another model in White/Black/Game Royal pays tribute to the Orlando Magic themed sneakers from the Nike Air Penny range.

The design of the KD 17 emphasises both visual appeal and performance. Notable details include "KD" branding on the tongue and forefoot Zoom cushioning that enhance both aesthetics and functionality. A TPU shank support provides stability and allows wearers to move confidently and comfortably in a variety of environments.

Scheduled for a summer 2024 release, the Nike KD 17 "Sunrise" will be available at select Nike Basketball retailers.

This latest addition to Kevin Durant's signature shoe line will be available in select Nike Basketball shops, online and at Nike.com for €150 in men's sizes.
