KD16 EP 'DEEP ROYAL/VIVID PURPLE-METALLIC SILVER'

Kevin Durant is a true hooper. He'd be just as happy running pickup all afternoon as he would be dropping 40-pieces in the playoffs. When your avid appetite for the game can’t be satisfied, lace up in the KD16’s. Nike Air and Zoom Air work together to provide speed and stability for all four quarters, while the upper is lower and the overall load is lighter compared to the previous iteration. It's ideal for the hoopaholic who can’t say no to just one more game. This regal design pays homage to KD’s prominence as a player, a revered, king-making bucket-getter who just keeps getting better with each passing season. With its extra-durable rubber outsole, this version gives you traction for outdoor courts.

• Emotional Pathway: From injuries and insults to championships and reclamation of his rightful place in the basketball world, KD’s grown both as a player and person. The cloudy, purple haze represents the endured downs throughout his career that eventually helped make him stronger. The day-breaking blues signify his emotional range and clarity of mind that have brought him through it all.
• Cushion and Comfort: A lightweight Nike Air unit at the bottom of the upper gives KD the cushioning and comfort he needs to thrive during a long season.
• High-Speed Haven: KD loved the 15’s underfoot experience, so we took inspiration from the previous iteration and added a bottom-loaded forefoot Zoom Air unit for extra pop and snappiness when the game hits high speeds. Responsive full-length foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation.
• Groove and Move: Grooves and ridges in the sole help provide multidirectional traction and court feel. A stiff piece under the arch helps keep the shoe stable and help you smoothly transition from heel to toe.
• Broken-In Feel: Multilayer mesh in the upper is lightweight and dimensional with a broken-in feel. Added thickness in strategic areas helps to keep your foot in place by reducing small movements.
• Like Clockwork: The outsole resembles watch gears, which represent the inner workings of KD and the methodical nature of how he operates.
