Kevin Durant is known as one of the most dominating players in the NBA to date. This past season celebrated his forth scoring title with a spectacular average of 32 points per game. Finally securing his first MVP title, Durant desires to take his game to the next level this upcoming season. To help accomplish this, Leo Chang has crafted another performance indoor court shoe, with intentions to better the performance of the highly successful KD VI.
The attention to detail that went into the conceptualization and craftsmanship of Kevin Durant’s newest sneaker iteration is mind blowing. His seventh installment of signature kicks keeps the low profile cut and 180 Zoom Air unit . New additions to the updated model include include a seamless forefoot mesh, dynamic flywire, lightweight hyperposite heel supports, and a strap, all for a more personalized fit.
Chang’s goal for the new design is to cater to Durant’s dual playing style, giving him “the best of both worlds” to enforce his court supremacy in any game scenario. The technology used establishes front end flexibility required by point guards, with the stability and firmness desired by power forwards.
The colorway, dubbed ‘35,000 Degrees’ , is not only fitting because his jersey number is 35. Much like lightning, Durant is noted for his explosive energy, insane speed, and unpredictable court presence. Similarly, the temperature of a lightning bolt is roughly 35,000 degrees. A vivid mango upper and volt green outsole burn with the same intensity. Both the swoosh and the strap are veiled in a cloudy grey, and feature stratospheric patterns which represent KD’s ongoing interest in meteorology.
The highly anticipated colorway of this thunderous sneaker is set to release later this week.
