Nike KD 4

The Nike KD 4 is Kevin Durant’s fourth signature shoe under the Oregon giant. Its original retail run stretched from 2011 to 2012, delivering the first true footwear hit for the then-Thunder superstar. On top of being a massive commercial success, sneakerheads since have widely lauded the model as stylistically among the best in his Nike catalog. Pairs like the KD 4 “Aunt Pearl” remain some of the most sought after pairs of basketball shoes from that era.

In 2018, as Kevin Durant’s Golden State Warriors neared a second title in as many years, Nike chose to retro the silhouette for the first time. The “Thunderstruck” colorway was released online after their Game 3 win over the Cavaliers  At that time, Beaverton executives were already toying with LeBron re-releases, meaning that the revitalized launch foreshadowed major plans for not just Easy Money Sniper’s line, but also for Nike Basketball as a whole.

Some long-awaited and extremely welcome news arrived some 6 years later. Following a retro run for the Nike KD 3 in 2023, the Nike KD 4 finally returned. The “Galaxy” kicked things off in December, followed by the “Year of the Dragon 2.0” and the “Weatherman,” the latter dropping via a shock drop in May.

Many of the aforementioned colorways saw releases in 2024, headlined by the “Nerf”,“Aunt Pearl” and “Christmas.” Though Nike checked off some of those more everlasting looks, the silhouette won’t slow down in 2025. The release of the KD 4 “Scoring Title” highlights the retro category, but pairs like the KD 4 “MVP Speech” round out the slate with entirely new layouts.

Below you’ll find our latest coverage of the Nike KD 4, including official photos, release dates and store lists around respective drop days.
