Nike Basketball will debut another pair of Kevin Durant’s latest signature shoe, the KD 18, which is inspired by the team that drafted him, the Seattle Supersonics. Although the connection is small, with a Green “35” (KD’s number) on the tongue, the rest of the shoes appear to just be another colorway with no specific connection.

This Nike KD 18 is dressed in a Sanddrift and Soft Pearl color combination. The upper features Sand hues throughout, while constructed with hairy suede around the toe and heel. The base features mesh areas for ventilation, leather on the top of the tongue, and Cordura-like materials on the heels. The left tongue features KD’s number “35,” and his logo lands on the right tongue in Green. The design is completed with a Cream midsole and a Gum rubber outsole with speckled detailing.
