Kevin Durant owns one of the longest-running and most beloved design series in all of sports. Beginning with the Nike KD 4 in 2012, the future Hall of Fame forward has released annual “Aunt Pearl” sneakers inspired by his late aunt, who helped raise him and passed away from lung cancer in 2000. Fifteen signature models later, the Nike KD 19 carries the torch forward with a beautiful pink makeup for November 2026, shown here for the first time.
Every “Aunt Pearl” sneaker has been anchored by pink coloring, with most taking up delicate feminine shades and oftentimes florals worked in. The Nike KD 19 builds on that portfolio with a stunning exterior reminiscent of pink granite, a super classy and sophisticated execution that complements the model’s sleek exterior perfectly. The Swooshes are done in a slightly darker, solid pink shade, while the KD tongue branding stands out in silver. Underfoot, a pale pink outsole rounds out the package.
The Nike KD 19 “Aunt Pearl” releases November 13th, 2026 for $170 in men’s sizes. We’ll circle back with an update as soon as official images pop up.
