Kevin Durant's Nike KD 6 “All-Star” Retro Is Expected in 2026

Kevin Durant might not have had the 2024-25 NBA season he had hoped for, but he ended his 17th campaign with an average of 26.6 points. On the footwear front, his Swoosh family unveiled yet another addition to his expansive signature sneaker line, but it's also expected to reissue the Nike KD 6 from 2013 throughout the 25-26 NBA season.

Reported by X user @brandon1an and Romanian outlet Sneaker Market, the news follows an ongoing trend from Nike Basketball to retro some of its most beloved styles from last decade. Durant's KD 4 has enjoyed a widely-successful second-life, which has allowed those around for its original run to indulge in nostalgia. It's quite possible that the Oregon-based company will skip over the KD 5 entirely as the shoe paled in popularity when compared to its immediate predecessor and successor. Additionally, current consumer trends favor low-profile footwear, so the fifth Durant model wouldn't fit in as well.

Durant wore the impending KD 6 "All-Star" during February 2014's matchup between the Western and Eastern Conferences. Representing the former squad, the Oklahoma City Thunder forward finished the night with 38 points. The pair he wore throughout the game formed part of a larger collection by Nike Basketball, as was customary of the era.

The pair's "Multi-Color/Green Glow/Black" color scheme is expected to return faithfully on the 2026 retro. The all-over, illusion-inspired graphics across the upper and glow-in-the-dark elements should also reprise their roles.

Stay tuned for official photos and firm launch details of the next KD 6 "All-Star" offering. Pairs should hit Nike.com in the first-half of the new year.
