Nike KD 1 “Seattle Sonics” PE – Available on eBay

This Nike KD 1 was such a strange occurrence. Sure, Kevin Durant did spend his first NBA season in Seattle before the heart-breaking relocation to Oklahoma City (seriously if you’re an NBA fan in Seattle you have to be relishing the chance that the Zombie Sonics Thunder don’t make the playoffs this year and Durant bolts in free agency in 2016). But even though this Nike KD 1 pair dons a Sonic-themed gradient, no.35 never actually wore this ‘PE’ so to speak while in the great Northwest. Instead, the pair was a member of the KD “Career Pack” that released the summer the Sonics were transforming into the Thunder. 06282007 is printed on the heel in a nod to the date that Durant became a member of Seattle’s now defunct squad. At the time it seemed a bit early to have a ‘Career Pack’ for a Rookie of the Year, but Nike made it work, as the shoe released alongside other pairs inspired by his Middle School, his McDonald’s All-American appearance, and his two semesters at Texas.
