Following his fifth season in the league which saw him win his third straight scoring title, first All-Star Game MVP and inaugural trip to the Finals, Kevin Durant looks to make his sixth season the most successful one yet. To do so however KD will need a strong supportive cast, a Lakers downfall, and an inventive shoe that’ll aid him along the way. “Championship drive takes an entire team,” says Durant. “The new KD V represents the roadmap I follow.” Offering a detailed explanation of the construction of the Nike Zoom KD V, Sole Collector was granted an exclusive interview with Leo Chang – a Nike Basketball Design Director and curator of all five signature Durant models.
