When it comes to player kicks, it’s almost automatic that a model will get the color blue treatment. For one, it’s a great look for collegiate teams who host the colors in their uniforms and even high school teams who celebrate the same hue can benefit from their players wearing matching footwear. Although not the first time, Nike now brings blue tones to the KD 9 in the form of the “Game Royal” silhouette. Here we get a very streamlined look complete with varying tones, black accents, and a very pronounced midsole. The pair would make a great option for outdoor games or as casual kicks when rooting for your blue-uniformed squad.

The Nike KD 9 “Game Royal” gets a price tag of $150 and will release on November 23 at select retailers and on Nike’s online shop.
