We often forget that MVP-frontrunner and possible 2012 Scoring Champ (Three-peating in that award, should he come out atop the heap by this Friday) is just a 23-year-old kid. He’s remained so humble and focused because of how grounded his family keeps him, and it’s clear that the female authority figures have had as much of a profound effect on him as his coaches and mentors have. We already saw a special PE KD IV made for his mother Wanda, but today we get a look at another PE of sorts made for Aunt Pearl; it features a tonal pink profile with a translucent pink outsole and a black swoosh on a strap, but what makes it a visual masterpiece is the pearloid panel on the heel – an obvious play on his grand-aunt’s name. An overseas release for these has been reported, but we’ll keep you updated on the U.S. release. Photo: torres9 on ISS
I have a ton of respect for KD, not only for designing a kick ass shoe and constantly dropping stellar colorways. But making it affordable its great for us kids who don't come from much money
If the back of the shoe was just a pearl color and not a whole bunch of pearls they would look SO much better!
LOL!!!
beautiful
i aint got no kd's yet... but i dont mind my first pair being pink... judge me all you want.. im feelin it.
Go for it LuiKang! Ni hao!
Durant is such a nice guy. Shoes for mom, auntie, the Indians who will he shout out next?
He'll probably do a DC inspired CW
To much pink for guys to wear but these would be nice on females
That's a nice "tribute shoe". What is that KD IV directly behind it?
The easter editions.
Honestly I don't like the colorway, but I can appreciate the cause and purpose of the shoe.
KDIV's are KICKING ASSES THIS YEAR!!!! Of course I'll cop! This is much better than the Kobe VI Kayows!...EASY!!!
Did this dude just misspell "chaos"? Cop a dictionary first, fool
nope.....he meant KOBE 6 "KAY YOW" with an "S" which is the kobe 6 pink CW....be careful with what you say bro...
FUCKN beautiful, perfect for the summer
If these come in kids sizes I def know what my daughters will be balling in next year!!!!
Good year for kev, Keep up the good work. Nice shoe just not for me. Feeling the Aunt Pearl scheme
I respect KD for showing his fam love with his kicks kinda sad he the first.
Derrick rose's had a cw on the 2.5 that was dedicated to his mother and named after her too, Brenda. Im sure there were some athletes that dedicated their fam w/ sneakers, i guess we're just overlooking a bit.
DAMN.... those are ugly! Nike are coming up with some stupid color ways nowadays... jeez. I can probably see a girl rockin these. I better not see any dudes rockin these on the court.
It would be nice if u read rather than just looking at the pixz
i like...
ok...i aint gonna like. the concept is insane. dope!
And the KD IV once again executes. Great inspiration.
MVP frontrunner???? nah. we all know thats LeBron
Let's not...KD is too real. If he doesn't win the MVP he will hopefully win the title. Bu this is all unrelated. Nice creative shoes...although I would probably never wear them.
