KD 17 Producer Pack

The Nike KD 17 “Producer Pack” is an upcoming set of releases centered around some of Durant’s favorite producers. As one of the longest standing Nike athletes, he’s already  spawned some truly iconic series across his well-established catalog. Amid a field of fan favorite themes like the “Aunt Pearl,” the Nike KD 15 “Producer Pack” immediately annointed a new fan-favorite into the canon. Durant’s well-documented love for hip-hop manifested in three editions of his signature shoe, dedicated to those whose mastery comes behind the boards. Cardo, Bo1da and 9th Wonder landed in the spotlight for that inaugural edition, uniting the architects for hits from the likes of De La Soul, Kendrick Lamar and Drake.

The KD 17 “Producer Pack” is similarly wide-ranging, dedicated to Metro Boomin, The Alchemist and Bink!, those three artists’ collective discography a history of recent hip-hop in and of itself. Each shoe in the collection boldly features artist-specific imagery that alludes to their individual catalogs. Most notably, Metro’s edition depicts the album cover of his “Heroes and Villains” album on the shoe’s tongue as well as mirroring his tour merch on the upper with graphic thunder & lightning print.

A few days before the drop, Nike & KD enlisted each of the men themselves as a part of the promotional effort, bringing three of the most legendary producers together (of course, each rocked their own edition.) The full collection, including each pair from The Alchemist, Bink! and Metro Boomin released on June 14th- certain styles remain available via Nike. The chukka below all contain “Where To Buy” sections to pick up your pair.
