As a lifelong Nike athlete, Kevin Durant will be releasing numerous sneakers long after his retirement. We’ve still got a few more years of watching KD in the league, and at the end of the 2024-2025 season, his 18th model, the Nike KD 18, was released to the public. Over the summer, the model has appeared in multiple makeups, including an Eggplant Foamposite-inspired colorway, a 2024 Summer Olympics-inspired pair, and, of course, a pair for his Aunt Pearl. Next up for the sneaker is a colorway to celebrate Christmas.
Featuring the KD 18’s traditional build of mesh, rubber, and suede, the silhouette is primarily doused in a glacier blue hue. This shade appears on the mesh paneling around the toe, midfoot, and tongue, while the suede paneling on the toe borrows the same hue. Moving toward the midfoot, the Air Terra Humara-inspired cage is rendered in a gradient pattern, transitioning from white near the base and turning into a glacier blue that is outlined in volt near the top.
Swoosh logos on the collar come in a lenticular finish that swaps between volt green and red based on the angle they are viewed. A similar effect is found on the branding window along the tongue. Finishing the design is the Easy Money text found on the interior lining of the tongue, a white midsole with Air Zoom cushioning, and a semi-translucent outsole with a gradient pattern going from bolt green to red.
The Nike KD 18 PRM Gifted will release December 2025 through Nike and select retailers online and in-store. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $170.
