nike air max 2010 air attack pack KD 4 differs from the upcoming KD 12 in that it’s a low-top model, but its “Aunt Pearl” edition makes its way onto the newest memento by way of the pearl pattern around the ankle.
Durant’s fifth basketball sneaker with dusty nike resembles the KD 12 a lot more than the KD 4, and appears on the “air jordan 3 1988 dunk tees and hoodie” by way of the stained-glass-patterned insoles, a detail also found on the KD 5‘nike air max plus black teal.
The KD 6 “Aunt Pearl” brought flowers to the commemorative release, which resemble the pattern on a robe Durant’s late aunt often wore. The vibrant detail decorates the KD 12’s heel in identical form.
nike lal m swgmn short hwc KD 7 opted for a rather clean color scheme in its tribute to Durant’s late aunt. Although hits of pink found their way onto the visible Zoom Air unit and insole, the most notable detail on the KD 7 “Aunt Pearl” is the wing-like midfoot strap. The KD 12 edition copies the strap, but gives it a pink color.
Perhaps the most understated of the commemorative releases, the KD 9 “Aunt Pearl” was almost entirely black, but pink accents on the side Swoosh, visible Zoom Air Unit, and Flyknit forefoot contrasted the darker color nicely. Durant’s ninth signature sneaker with Beaverton appears on the “air jordan 3 1988 dunk tees and hoodie” KD 12 via the knit heel patch showcasing the “KD” logo surrounded by flowers. The patch rocks a pinkish-purple color on the upcoming release.
The KD 10 “Aunt Pearl” lends its use of velvet (originally only appearing on the heel) to the KD 12. The “air jordan 3 1988 dunk tees and hoodie” mashup instead uses the soft material on its tongue, collar, and sock-liner sure to make any wearer feel cozy.
Last year’s KD 11 honored Durant’s late aunt with an “in-your-face” pink that covered the shoe’s laces, knit upper, and performance sole. The tribute would’ve been tonal had it not been for the marble-like detailing on the midsole. The same marbling makes its way onto the “air jordan 3 1988 dunk tees and hoodie” KD 12’s responsive cushioning.
