Matt Varga With the Nike KD 16 now winding down, all eyes are on the next step in the Slim Reaper’s signature line with the Nike KD 17. Detailed images via JD Sports now allow us to get a real sense of what to expect when the new model lands on shelves next month.
The influence of the Nike Air Max Plus on this new silhouette has been well-documented since it first surfaced in February. While the shades of “Safety Orange” and “University Gold” that this debut colorway wears will elicit comparisons to the “Sunset” AM Plus, it’s also a opportune nod to “The Valley” Suns jerseys that have marked KD’s Phoenix tenure.
That said, we can turn our attention to more specific aspects, like the “EASY” tag on the heel that harkens to his IG handle & nickname, the iridescent jewel tab on the tongue, and the soft gradient on the upper that brings it from orange to pure white. All told, the debut colorway for the Nike KD 17 is a standout, bridging the gap between on-court performance and street-level wearability.
The Nike KD 17 will release April 12th, retailing for $150. Enjoy a full suite of detailed images just ahead.
Elsewhere out of Nike Basketball, the Nike LeBron 21 “Multi-Color” takes inspiration from the “What The” series.
