Nike KD 17 Slim Reaper
Buy at Nike
Kevin Durant’s illustrious career has seen the perennial all-star go by various nicknames, including the Slim Reaper. While Nike paid homage to this nickname earlier in the year with a KD 16 colorway, the theme will continue on Durant’s latest signature model, the KD 17, in 2025.
Unlike the Sniper colorway of the KD 17 that was recently launched, this pair opts for a vibrant orange color palette that transitions from a lighter shade near the toe to a darker orange back on the leather heel. The engineered mesh makes up the base layer, with reinforcements near the toe and midfoot. These two reinforcements are inspired by the Air Max Plus’ wavy, palm tree-inspired TPU overlays, coming in black on this colorway.
