Matt Varga Kevin Durant just can’t seem to stay out of controversy. Despite starting off somewhat innocuously, his comments on LeBron James’ defection to Philadelphia in contrast to his own to Golden State managed to rankle Klay Thompson and Draymond Green. Maybe, after several similar sagas, the villain role is where the Slim Reaper is best equipped. If so, the Nike KD 19 “Black” is landing at a perfect time.
The latest in a monochromatic string of KD 19 “Candies” colorways, this stealthy overhaul has been on our radar since Durant himself teased the full sucrose-coated collection. In a theme most of our readers will recognize at this point, this draws on a fully monochromatic exterior in wear-test-approved jet black, but makes some room for off-color detailing via a “Stadium Green” KD brand on the insoles. As we move through official looks at the “Candy Pack” as a whole, it begs the question of where the silhouette will go next; maybe tournament PEs, game-worn pairs, and/or NOCTA samples are instructive in that regard.
Again, the Nike KD 19 Candy Paint “Black” is scheduled for an August 19th release, retailing for $155.
