Summary
- Ronnie Fieg has unveiled a detailed look at the Kith x Nike KD 18 “Air Max 95,” a Friends & Family exclusive
- The design mimics the classic AM95 gradient with layered grey premium suede and neon green accents
- Subtle details include a subway-tile texture on the panels and a custom tongue badge merging KD’s initials with Air Max branding
Ronnie Fieg has officially pulled the curtain back on a new Friends & Family project with Nike, revealing the Kith x Nike KD 18 “Air Max 95.” Sharing detailed imagery via social media with the caption “RF for KD,” the Kith founder showcases a reinterpretation of Kevin Durant‘s eighteenth signature shoe that deeply honors 1990s running heritage, specifically channeling the aesthetic of Sergio Lozano’s legendary design.
The sneaker abandons the standard KD 18 construction in favor of a layered approach that mirrors the iconic Air Max 95 gradient. Premium suede panels flow from light to dark grey, integrated with a subtle subway-tile texture that nods to Kith’s New York roots without over-branding the silhouette. Kith wordmarks are debossed into the grey layers, providing a tactile element that rewards close inspection.
Vibrant neon accents appear sparingly throughout the design, reinforcing the inspiration rather than overpowering it. The tongue features a custom oval badge that merges Durant’s initials with the classic Air Max logo, while the insole displays co-branded graphics to complete the crossover. This project follows a similar thematic path as Fieg’s previous Air Pippen 1 “Neon” concept, positioning the shoe as a carefully curated archive piece rather than a mass-market product.
The Kith x Nike KD 18 “Air Max 95” is strictly a Friends & Family exclusive. No public retail release is planned.
