Kd 8 Sketch

The latest update from the Nike KD 8 is here, arriving at us in the form of a sneaker sketch by Nike designer Leo Chang, who leaves his own insignia on the bottom right corner. The high-rising heel counter with the split at the achilles can be compared to the massive fangs of the sabretooth tiger, which was revealed yesterday through the first KD 8 teaser photos. We were also hinted at some level inspiration from KD’s ink, with his leg tattoo of a sabretooth tiger likely being the muse to this design. Stay tuned to Sneaker News for more details the latest KD shoe and let us know what your thoughts are on the design sketch above.
