Description
The Nike KD 14 'Black White' marks the debut of Kevin Durant's 14th signature shoe, bringing back the midfoot strap last seen on the KD 7. Textile overlays create an intricate pattern across the minimalist upper, reinforced by a molded mesh heel construction. Nods to Nike's heritage include an elongated Swoosh reminiscent of the Bruin, while the medial side of the midfoot strap echoes the Presto. The lightweight build sits atop a Cushlon foam midsole, complemented by a full-length Air Zoom Strobel unit.
Kevin Durant lurks on the wing, waiting for the right moment to strike before slicing through defenses. The KD14 is designed to help versatile, relentless players like KD feel fresh throughout the game. Multi-layered mesh and a midfoot strap help minimize foot movement inside the shoe. Full-length Zoom Air cushioning and Cushlon foam provide energy return for lasting performance.
Zero-distraction fit, broken-in feel
The multi-layered mesh upper is lightweight and dimensional, offering a snug, secure feel. Added thickness in strategic areas helps keep the foot in place, reducing micro-movements.
Strap In
A hook-and-loop strap wraps over the laces for support and a secure fit. It’s a subtle nod to the KD4 strap and draws inspiration from the shape of the Grim Reaper's scythe.
Ultimate responsive feel
The full-length Air Zoom Strobel unit is stitched directly to the upper. It helps reduce unnecessary weight and provides responsiveness.
Tuned traction
Grooves and ridges in the outsole provide multidirectional traction and a great feel for making cuts. A rigid piece under the arch helps keep the shoe stable. The two shoes together reveal a skull graphic. More benefits
