Kevin Durant may be on vacation after Houston’s rough showing in the first round of the playoffs, but the Slim Reaper’s legacy has already been cemented for more than a decade. Need proof? Just look at his Nike signature line. Next year will mark KD’s 19th season, and alongside it, his 19th signature shoe.
The Nike KD 19 University Red was first seen in shadowy debut pictures of the new silhouette, and then in person on KD’s feet during the last month of the season. Now, thanks to some carefully selected seeding, we’ve got a clear, detailed look at the upcoming KD 19 in a full coat of Houston Rockets red patent leather.
Posted to Instagram by David Giongco, aka @dghoops, the KD 19 University Red showed up in a wooden crate with a full breakdown of the silhouette’s tech specs added on the inside of the flip-over lid. Housed in more red packaging, the monochrome colorway highlights the model’s full-length Zoom Strobel support and Cushlon 3.0 midsole.
The Nike KD 19 University Red will be released Fall 2026 through Nike and select retailers in-store and online. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price is set at $155. For all the latest Nike KD 19 news and drop info, download the Sole Retriever App.
