While Kevin Durant’s 16th signature model is currently in the spotlight, the Phoenix Suns and the Nike brand have been revisiting the Nike KD 3 over the past seven months. This retro basketball sneaker has embraced its original styles while also introducing new color schemes and themes. One of these fresh designs is the “Aunt Pearl” edition, featuring a predominantly pink color scheme as a tribute to Durant’s late aunt, who succumbed to breast cancer. This commemorative style originally debuted on the KD 4 but now seamlessly fits the third signature silhouette of the “Slim Reaper,” Kevin Durant. The shoe is adorned in various shades of pink, with clear references to Breast Cancer Awareness, Aunt Pearl, and Nike’s Kay Yow initiative evident throughout the upper.
For those eagerly anticipating its release, you can explore detailed images of this shoe as you await its launch on nike.com, scheduled for November 25th. The “Aunt Pearl” KD will be available for $130 USD. If you’re interested in more sneaker news, don’t miss the upcoming release of the Air Jordan 11 “Gratitude” set to hit stores in early December.
