The Nike KD V Elite “EYBL” is a sneaker that won’t be seeing a retail release, as mentioned indirectly by the man himself Leo Chang in our most recent interview with him. So now that we know there’s no chance of getting them at retail, how much would you pay to get your hands on them? Asking that very question is this auction, which is maybe just a bit too optimistic regarding the fanfare for this pair. Then again, it has definitely been the most celebrated of Nike KD V Elite colorways so we’re sure someone out there who is on the hunt will happily grab em. Continue reading for the full photos of the Nike KD V Elite “EYBL” after the jump and then check out the auction from footswagg2 on eBay.

Are you ready to see more Nike KD V pairs that you can’t have? If not then look away, cause there’s another version of that sneaker on display here that likely won’t be getting a retail release. This time around it’s not one connected to any given high school, team, or player that we can think of though. The combination is a white and royal one up top, with a pine green treatment for the midsole and a speckle overlay. Reconvene after the jump for a better look at the Nike KD V pair and tell us in the comments which of these unreleased looks you’re feeling the most.

How do you get your hands on a boatload of Nike KD V exclusives intended for high school kids if you’re not involved in youth hoops? You’ve gotta be a member of Kevin Durant’s tight inner circle, an inner circle that is more than happy to flaunt its sneaker connects via social media. The latest pair thrown up is the Nike KD V “Huntington Prep”, an orange and blue combo that actually isn’t too far from the Oklahoma City Thunder colors. Continue reading for a sneak peek and stay tuned for some more unique Nike KD V pairs.

The number of Nike KD V Elite colorways available at retail will balloon to three come this weekend. The third of those is this, an Oklahoma City colored sneaker that skips out on the orange sections in favor of a little bit of yellow. Of course OKC is looking just a little bit shaky at the moment as a result of Russell Westbrook’s absence, but hopefully that won’t cut Kevin Durant’s post-season time too short. See extra shots of the Nike KD V Elite “Playoffs Home” and watch for them in stores on May 18th at spots like Sneaker Bistro.

Mache was the first one to it, but it looks like Nike Basketball will have the last laugh with the Nike KD V “What the KD?”. The sneaker of course mixes in a handful of Nike KD V colorways, including the “Black History Month”, “All-Star”, and “Christmas” pairs. Will this mash-up pair get an actual release? Stay tuned to Sneaker News for the answer to that question and make sure you tell us in the comments if you prefer this version to Mache’s custom execution of the same concept.

It’s playoffs time, which means that Kevin Durant has little use for the standard version of the Nike KD V anymore, having switched into Elite mode. That doesn’t mean that there aren’t new version of the sneaker still lurking around out there, as evidenced by this player exclusive pair for the highschool squad of the La Lumiere Lakers. Once again the gradient midsole look is teased out, one that seems less and less likely at retail with every passing PE. Continue reading for more angles on the Nike KD V “La Lumiere” version and tell us what you think in the comments.

The 2013 NBA Playoffs continue to be an interesting set of games, with series like those between the Heat/Bulls, Thunder/Grizzlies, and Spurs/Warriors shaping up to be not as lopsided as some may have predicted. Also keeping things interesting are the sneaker selections of the players still in it. LeBron James continues to hold things down with various PE versions of his Nike LeBron X, with teammate Chris Anderson showing support in the same sneaker. Similarly, Kevin Durant has rocked the Thunder-away version of the Nike KD V Elite while Kendrick Perkins went with a gradient flavored Nike KD V pair. Check out the on-court sneakers of those and many more NBA stars right after the jump in this Playoffs edition of NBA Feet.

The Nike KD VI will release on July 3rd, 2013 in this yellow/teal/navy look. The upcoming release will deviate from what we’re familiar with as far as the Kevin Durant line of sneakers is in a couple of ways. First of all the price point has jumped up-the shoes will retail at $130 for the adult sizes. What’s more, the model will transition back into a low shape-the lowest we’ve seen yet for the likes of KD’s shoes. Do you think the model will end up a hit come the Summer 2013 release? Give us your thoughts in the comments and remember that the Nike KD VI release date is July 3rd.
