Continuing a cherished tradition, Nike and Kevin Durant unveil the "Aunt Pearl" edition of the KD 17, an annual tribute that resonates deeply with both the player and his fans.

Each iteration of the "Aunt Pearl" series pays homage to Durant’s late aunt, who was a pivotal figure in his life and his biggest basketball supporter. Although her battle with lung cancer ended in 2000, her memory vividly lives on through these special releases.

This year's KD 17 "Aunt Pearl" is presented in a poignant Pink Foam colorway, a gentle nod to Aunt Pearl’s enduring influence and the ongoing fight against cancer. The choice of color represents more than just aesthetic appeal; it’s a symbol of hope and remembrance, aligning with the broader cancer awareness initiatives these sneakers support.

Set to release on November 15th, 2024, the KD 17 "Aunt Pearl" continues the legacy of commemorating a beloved family member but also offers fans and players alike a chance to share in the story and contribute to a cause close to Durant’s heart.

Enjoy a first retailer and an official look at the pair below and expect to see these arrive on Nike.com on November 15th, 2024.
