Kevin Durant has officially announced that he'll be playing in the 2016 Summer Olympics and this patriotic "Premiere" Nike KD9 which he''ll be lacing up in Rio is scheduled to release tomorrow, July 1st.
The low-cut sneaker, designed by Nike's Leo Chang, features a coke white flyknit upper with red branding, a red full length Zoom Air unit, and hits of blue throughout.
Specifically, the Nike KD9 features a pattern with a distinct honeycomb structure precisely knit for the multidimensional movement of basketball and Durant’s lateral quickness. Flyknit technology engineering locks down the forefoot while still allowing the foot to move naturally. Flyknit’s efficient material use also ensures the upper is lightweight, without compromising strength.
Again, the kicks will release tomorrow, with a very consumer-friendly price tag of $150.
