Kevin Durant's Next Nike KD 18 Is A Love Letter to Seat Pleasant, Maryland

The specifics on what Kevin Durant will do throughout the offseason are (understandably) under wraps, but the current Phoenix Sun has seemingly dedicated some time to another narrative-oriented take on his Nike KD 18. This time, the Washington D.C.-native visits Seat Pleasant, Maryland.

Throughout his signature Nike Basketball line, Durant has told important stories to the person he is, his family, and interests. This intentional design process has given way to pairs like the KD 6 "Peanut Butter & Jelly" from 2013, a sneaker that's set to return during Spring 2026. With his latest KD 18, @easymoneysniper shouts out the city in Prince George's County in which he learned the game of basketball.

Although there's no direct nod to Seat Pleasant on the sneaker, an official item description acquired by Elden Monitors confirms the connection to the area east of Washington D.C. Furthermore, the pair's "Hyper Royal/Sail/Neon Yellow" color scheme also references another sneaker beloved across the DMV area: the Air Humara.

The design team behind Durant's KD 18 has gone on record to confirm design cues from the classic from 1997, with the impending offering referencing the silhouette's "Photo Blue" look last seen in 2018.

Enjoy official photos of the KD 18 "Seat Pleasant" ahead. The pair Durant unveiled on-court in March is expected to hit Nike.com by June 1st.
