No Longhorn + Same release date as "Cork X's" = These will sit
useless. you can nikeid this. all it needs is the longhorn logo
I love Kevin Durant, great player. I will cop his sneakers someday.
Honest these the most wearable pairs of KD's I've seen yet. Since I go to OU I'm fine with no logo aha.
Honestly though these look fairly clean, are they the best? No, I think the BHM and the Blackout are the best so far, but these aren't too bad.
I like the decisions made in reference to the amount of burnt orange and silver-esque tone covering the majority of this KD V. Ironically, I like that the shoe isn't predominantly the burnt orange like the KD IV; I feel it makes the shoe more wearable, either out casually or on the court. Concerning the latter, I have more athletic wear to match with a shoe that's mainly a silver-type color than burnt orange.
Even provided, these are the TX LH edition, true KD fans know this is that reference--I don't feel it's a need to have a Longhorns' logo in addition to a lot of that burnt orange. I actually feel that was overkill and was why I wasn't a big fan of the TX LH edition KD IVs.
@10Reed1990 if ur gonna call da shoes Texas, u need da longhorn logo. Its only right
This is weak. KDIV Longhorns are more aggressive-looking.
poo cheese. no longhorn logo? =weak.
@JROB003 I must say that is true indeed. Needs a Longhorns logo. But as for the colorway itself this is the best Longhorns Colorway on a KD yet.
I like these. Would b better wit da longhorns logo on da tongue like last yrs had tho
i hope many people pass on them, these are nice
These are actually nice in my opinion
