The Nike KD 4 “Nerf” Returns August 9

The Nike KD 4 "Nerf" will return on August 9th, 2024.

Originally released in December 2011, the KD 4 "Nerf" was a harmonious blend of sport and playful nostalgia, a nod to Durant’s childhood memories intertwined with the innovative spirit of Nike and Hasbro. The vibrant colorway and exclusive packaging that transformed into a basketball hoop captured the imagination of sneakerheads and basketball fans alike, quickly turning the release into a sought-after collectible.

The brainchild of Leo Chang, the KD 4 "Nerf" was more than a sneaker—it was a testament to the seamless fusion of a designer's past experiences and his current creative endeavors. With Chang's history at Hasbro, the collaboration felt like a natural extension of his journey, ultimately creating a sneaker that resonated deeply with the youth and the young at heart.

The return of such an iconic colorway after more than a decade is significant. It speaks to the lasting impact of the KD 4 "Nerf" on the culture of basketball footwear and the persistent demand for its bold aesthetic.
