As NBA superstar Kevin Durant continues his ascent through the ranks of the league's all-time greatest scorers, he continues to confirm his "Easy Money" nickname that has never waned in 16 professional seasons. And for All-Star Weekend 2024, Nike celebrates his achievements with the latest KD 16 “Easy Money.”
Takin a literal approach to currency, the pair boasts a host of unique features that celebrate his nickname. The design connects with the KD 3 of the same name, released earlier in Durant's career, and includes a holographic dollar bill on the tongue tabs, emphasizing the 'money' theme. Additionally, the $35 typography adorning the vectorized “Playful Pink” overlay at the mid-foot serves as a nod to Durant's jersey number and his effortless scoring ability.
The color palette of the KD 16 “Easy Money” extends beyond the usual green associated with money. The shoe features vibrant orange and light lemon accents on the sole unit, adding a lively contrast to the design. Striking violet swooshes and fuchsia tongues juxtapose the bright green hue of the engineered mesh upper, creating an eye-catching, multicolored aesthetic reminiscent of international currencies.
