Whether or not you believe Kevin Durant belongs in the GOAT conversation is irrelevant towards his position as one of the game’s best players for the last fifteen years. Easy Money Sniper was off to an MVP-level start until a calf injury took him out; since then, Phoenix has gone 1-3 without their leader, which goes to show just how important KD is to any team.

While it may be another week or so until Durant makes his return to the line-up, we do have a first look at a new Nike KD 17 colorway that could be awaiting his re-arrival. Dressed in Light Iron Ore, Metallic Gold, and Black, this colorway returns to the stoic palettes that are much simpler and drab in comparison to the louder concoctions seen in the KD 17 Producer Pack and even Jonquel Jones’ Bahamas-inspired pair.

The KD signature line is among the most popular hoops shoes in the NBA and across the globe. Credited for ushering in the full-length Zoom Air strobel to performance footwear, the KD 17 continues that movement with one of the most high-performing cushion stacks in the game.

A confirmed release date has not yet been known, but a release is expected before the end of 2024.
