Seventeenth signature shoe Kevin Durantthe KD 17 had already used a golden touch on its “Flight to Paris” colorway, announcing the victory of Team USA at the last Olympic Games. What destiny will this new version embrace?
Called “Light Iron Ore”, it also symbolizes the ambitions of the Suns’ lethal weapon for the coming season. As he did on his “Flight to Paris” colorway, this new colorway of the KD 17 highlights the “Swoosh” and the Suns player logo on the gold-colored tongue. Gold is the color of the Larry O'Brien Trophy, the one for which the 30 franchises fight every year.
This new color is also composed of an upper alternating between black, gray and white, in the form of a gradient at the upper. The whole is also used to cover the sole, white at the intermediate level, and black and gray on the outer covering.
The KD 17 “Light Iron Ore” is available from today on Basket4Ballers at the price of 160 euros..
Our verdict on the KD 17
Nike stuck to the same method to make the KD 17 a running affair. Kevin Durant's 17th signature shoe dared to change the design while keeping the same technical guarantees, with a sole corresponding to those who appreciated the previous KDs, a little rigid but still suitable in terms of comfort , and with very good traction.
Beyond the choice of the design of the upper, which some will see as warm, it is above all on its “sneaker” qualities that the pair will focus on to maintain its place among the top of the basket, with also good support for top it off.
