Andrew Rizzo Jonquel Jones is Kevin Durant’s favorite WNBA player. The Easy Money Sniper went on record saying she “reminds me of myself” when playing for the Brooklyn Nets, eventually welcoming the 2021 WNBA MVP to the big apple when she was traded to the New York Liberty in early 2023. Durant praised Jones for her length and shooting, but now there’s another commonality between the two stars, as Jones stakes claim to her very own Nike KD 17 colorway.
Taken in a mix of tropical colors, the design is inspired by Jones’ homeland of The Bahamas. The heel comes with a debossed map of the island nation, while the rest of the shoe introduces an array of vibrant, cheerful shades. Most of the upper appears in turquoise, overlaid by clear wavy TPU overlays a la Air Max Plus. Seafoam green treatments touch up the Swoosh, eyestays, and midsole, also appearing on the chalked edges of the heel panel. Otherwise, pink rope laces polish off the look.
Jonquel Jones’ Nike KD 17 “Bahamas” is set to release August 29th, 2024 for $150 in unisex sizes. Keep our “Where To Buy” section handy for purchase links upon the shoe’s release.
