Dropped
As unfair as it is, two of the league’s most dominant players in Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving have brought Ws back to Brooklyn since their signing (let’s not even mention James Harden!) They also share a close friendship and are both signature athletes for Nike — so with so much in common, it should come as no surprise that the two have linked up on a special colorway of the Slim Reaper’s 14th signature release. Honor his All-Star teammate, Durant and the Swoosh has concocted a special Nike KD 14 “Ky-D” colorway — one which harkens back to Kyries debut signature sneaker.
The court-ready sneakers make use of the KD 14 silhouette as the canvas and the Kyrie 1 “Dream” for style inspiration — the first-ever installment that Uncle Drew launched with the Nike imprint on Christmas Eve back in 2014. The black and red color coordination from this iteration is translated onto this modernized take, the former of which covers the majority of the base’s exterior graphics, Swooshes, and laces while the latter bleeds onto the straps, KD branding on the tongues, and the medial side’s forefoot checks. Multi-colored geometric patterns from Irving’s aforementioned pair are copied and pasted onto the underlays and tongues to spruce the KD 14 with a playful aesthetic. The Air Zoom Strobel midsoles are given a black background and contrasted with a yellow bar that’s seated in the middle. Outsoles round everything together with a bold red hue.
Update 05.23.21 Nikehas confirmed a release of the Nike KD 14 “Ky-D” for June 5th to release alongside Irving’s Kyrie 7 of the same name. If you’re planning on picking up a pair on the day, make sure you head to our dedicated Nike Release Dates Calendar to set yourself a reminder for the drop.
