Quick Facts
Kevin Durant's Nike KD 18 is getting a makeover perfect for his move back to Texas
The Nike KD 18 White University Red is primarily clad in white with Houston Rockets red coming in on the outline.
The Nike KD 18 White University Red will be released Holiday 2025.
Kevin Durant is no stranger to changing teams. After he was forced to move from Seattle to OKC when the Supersonics folded, Durant has been on the move ever since, with stints in the Bay, Brooklyn, and Phoenix. This year, KD is moving back to Texas for the first time since college, and as we get closer to the NBA season, the Slim Reaper needs fresh colorways to match his new jersey.

Nike KD 18 White University Red
The Nike KD 18 White University Red starts with a clean white upper across the mesh and support panels, with Houston Rockets red coming in on the outline of the stretched-out side panel digits, the lateral heel Swoosh, and the KD tongue logo. The speckled white midsole is a nice touch to break up the plain white upper, and a grey outsole matches the grey and red laces.
Durant’s 18th shoe has been a sleeper basketball hit this year, with a unique shape, tech-forward tooling with Zoom Air cushioning, and a good run of personalized inline colorways, PEs, and inclusions in packs. The main feature of the model, the midfoot cage, is taken from the Nike Air Terra Humara, a sneaker that was a hit in the DMV area during KD’s upbringing.
The Nike KD 18 White University Red will be released Holiday 2025 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in men’s sizing, the retail price is set at $155.
