As Kevin Durant gears up for another chapter in his storied career, his footwear legacy is beginning to heat up anew as well. Beginning with the Nike Basketball-focused SNKRS showcase, the fresh looks for his KD 18 are coming fast and furious as the Fall 2025 season plays out. After checking off odes to the seminal locations in his journey, from Texas to Seattle, Slim Reaper returns to one of his more evergreen themes via the Nike KD 18 “Easy Money.”

While Durant’s moniker has inspired multiple rangy looks over the years, immediately this calls to mind the most recent, the Nike KD 17 “Easy Money All-Star.” Taking inspiration from global currency and spinning their vibrant tonality across its body, here the Nike KD 18 further simplifies the prompt and holds onto the hues without utilizing those dense patterns. Nonetheless, it still makes for an impactful overall profile, dousing the majority of the upper in baby blue and planting a spicy ombre within the branding and outsole, going from neon green to fire red at the heel.

The Nike KD 18 “Easy Money” should touch down for the Holiday 2025 season, retailing at the usual $155 sticker price.
