Matt Varga In many ways, Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets seem like a perfect match. In their seven-game series against the Warriors, the roster versatility, youth, and energy of the H-town squad was painfully close to felling Steph Curry and co. If anything was missing from their makeup, it was a bonafide go-to scorer, a void that the Slim Reaper is obviously more than ready to fill.
As if to nod to Durant’s upcoming role as the most overqualified microwave scorer in league history, that lights-out ability runs parallel to an all-dark version of the Nike KD 18. In truth, that’s simply a bit of serendipity, as the Nike KD 18 “Triple Black” is actually a part of the Texas product’s “Team Bank” collection, aimed at providing hoopers at every level with uniform-ready versions of Nike’s various signature series. That said, there’s no doubt that pulling a page from the all-black playbook that’s continually paid dividends for the Swoosh results in the most outwardly stylish of the group.
The Nike KD 18 “Triple Black” will likely touch down on Nike.com and at partnering retailers sometime in the coming weeks, retailing for $155 upon arrival. Watch for that moment via this article and our Sneaker Release Dates page.
