Kevin Durant's path to becoming one of the best in basketball has been characterized by a dedication to perfection—both on the court and off. The KD17, Durant's latest signature shoe, accurately embodies this attitude. Made for those dedicated to the game and his loyal fans, the KD17 goes beyond being only a shoe; it symbolizes the endless chase after excellence.
Design and Performance
At the core of the Nike KD17's design is its retro-inspired look, a nod to the Nike Air Max Plus that debuted in 1998. The shoe boasts a forefoot Air Zoom unit, a technological marvel that enhances the wearer's first step, providing a snappy pop that propels them forward. This is complemented by a springy Cushlon foam midsole, ensuring additional comfort and responsiveness. The KD17's design not only pays homage to the past but also propels you into the future of basketball.
The KD17's outsole features a unique pattern reminiscent of a topographical map, complete with an array of contoured ridges. These ridges are made to bend and move in different ways to bite on the court, giving excellent grip for any movement. The KD17 also features a TPU shank plate under the arch to provide support and extra stability. This is essential for players who spend many hours on the court, ensuring their feet stay comfortable and secure.
How does the KD17 fit?
The KD17 is designed to fit like a glove. Like the KD16, it fits true to size, and it is recommended that you stay with your standard Nike size. However, if you play with ankle braces, going up half a size may be more comfortable. Refer to our size chart on our product page to find your perfect fit.
The KD17 is not just a new shoe; it reflects Kevin Durant's journey and combines retro style with modern performance technology. Meeting the standards of an elite player like Durant, this shoe mixes Nike's latest technologies with attention to comfort and security, making it crucial for every type of player. Whether you're a daily hooper looking to elevate your game, a casual player, or just a fan, the KD17 is a shoe that embodies the pursuit of greatness and is a great choice to add to your collection.
