Following an official look at the “Deep Royal” take, Nike has now revealed a “Raptors” like “Black/Vivid Purple” colorway for the Nike KD 16. Set to embark on his journey with the Phoenix Suns, Kevin Durant and the sportswear giant are unveiling the creations they have put together for the latest iteration of the signature shoe line.

Arriving to mark the upcoming 2023-24 NBA season, the Nike KD 16 “Black/Vivid Purple” features a mix of “Black/Vivid Purple/Bright Crimson/Metallic Silver.” The uppers of the shoe are constructed of a multi-layer mesh and accented by synthetic mudguards. Along with a specially designed TPU caging system at the sides that connects the midsole segments and 3M reflective piping.

Finishing up the design of the shoe is integrated Zoom Air cushioning that works with the support and response elements of the release.

Priced at $160 USD, the Nike KD 16 “Black/Vivid Purple” is now set to release in the coming months.
