The “What The” saga continues with this magnificent KD 6 release – a shoe that will be highly sought after as we approach the now-confirmed release date of June 7th. Nike revealed quite an interesting detail regarding the KD 6 in that the haphazard “What The” arrangement is actually a meticulously organized set of 35 different details taken from some of the best KD 6 colorways thus far. Some may appear new to you because, unlike other “What The” joints, the KD 6 reinvents new visuals by combining some of its classics via a multi-layered arrangement and gradient effect.
While the “What The” LeBron 11 handpicks a number of unique details from the entire legacy, the “What The” KD 6 sticks within the limits of the current model – although we would hardly call that a limitation! As mentioned earlier some of the prints feature multiple layers, so be sure to pay attention if you want to grab all the details. Continue on below for our visual outline of the Nike “What The” KD 6, and stay tuned to Sneaker News for more updates on this sneaker and other KD shoes.

The Swoosh uses a similar motif from the Blue crab, option for a yellow primary unit with the crustaceans signature speckling in blue.
“BHM”
At the forefoot of the sublimated layer is the rich BHM colorway.
