First Looks // Nike KDs 15 “Aunt Pearl”

11:26 PM

Kevin Durant’s annual “Aunt Pearl” editions have produced some of the most sought-after sneakers in his 15-year-old signature line, but more importantly, they have continued to raise awareness for the perils of brea*t cancer, and how it can affect one-in-three people the world over. Now, for the twelfth time, Durant will use his platform to both honor his late Aunt, and to drive cancer research funding through a partnership with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund with the Nike KD 15 “Aunt Pearl”

As has been the case with releases past, Nike has dressed the pair in all-pink, with pastels serving as the majority. This year, there’s significant detail in the release, with embroidered suede heels, geometric-graphic Swooshes, and tongues of embroidered velour. Special 3D-embroidered tongue tags rest atop the latter, with laser-etching added to the pearly-pink midfoot caging, and marbelized graphics under the outsole to add to the high-detail design. The pair is then completed by special rear pulls and inner tongue embroidery that directly nods to Aunt Pearl and the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.

these and the 4s are easily his best drops ..
I need to see a red and a black CW

The back of these shoes remind me of the AJ 12s

So cold

KD got some fire shoes

Finally no strap.

About time he get a good silhouette again. All he need is the colorways

For a female, that's a clean a*s shoe

I normally love the aunt pearls but not on this shoe design look too much like a kids shoe with all the unnecessary plastic

I like how KD brings some of the 90s color ways back with the Neons.

I have his last pair. Think they are the 15s? Best bball shoes by far. I really want a pair of these.

Never liked the aunt pearls cause pink isn’t my jam. But cool concept none the less
