It’s no surprise that Nike is still releasing new hues of its basketball shoes for the upcoming NBA season, considering how busy Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant has been this offseason. Nike will produce a series of hues ideal for clubs trying to enhance their shoe game in response to the rising popularity of the Nike KD 16, which debuted for Durant’s 16th year in the league. Read our Sneaker news for updates on new arrivals and other timely information.
Many former hoopers and basketball fans fondly recall the days when every colorway of a new Nike basketball shoe was produced. The Nike Hyperdunk 2010 and the Nike Huarache 2004 are just two examples of iconic shoe shapes from Nike. In the early 2010s, Adidas released its Pro Models, which were modeled after Nike’s Air Max. Nike’s KD 16 will follow suit with a drop of five “Team Bank” colors, all of which are comprised of primary hues.
The Nike KD 16 is widely considered to be the brand’s most comfortable basketball sneaker overall. The KD 16 is a comfortable footwear that can keep up with a player as tall, athletic, and versatile as Kevin Durant. The top and midsole are both heavily padded for comfort. The low-top design is reminiscent of past KD models, but these sneakers are better suited to athletic large guys who value speed over bulk.
The TB pack’s official colors are black, grey, black/white, game red, and game royal. The palette is versatile enough to work with a broad variety of high school and collegiate basketball squads. The sneakers can be purchased right now via Nike stores, the Nike SNKRS app, and the Nike website. Both adult and kid-sized versions may be purchased for $160.
