Kevin Durant and Nike continue to expand the offering for the NBA player’s signature shoe. This time, they are paying homage to Durant’s inner circle with the release of the latest purple-hued colorway, the Nike KD 15 in “B.A.D.”

Arriving in a Space Purple, Oxygen Purple, and Purple Cosmos color scheme, the shoe is co-branded with the “B.A.D.” logo on the velvet tongues, which also feature a rose embroidery throughout. Additional detais includ the rose hangtags and motifs on the underfoot, as well as personal names of his crew embroidered on the inner tongue and insole. A nod to KD, his “07” is seen on the heel. The shoe sits atop a white midsole and a semi-transluscent purple outsole to round out the design.

Look out for the pair of Nike KD 15 “B.A.D.” coming to select retailers and Nike for $150 USD in Spring 2023.

In other footwear news, the Nike Shox TL returns in “Black” and “White.”
