Kevin Durant is a true hooper. He'd be just as happy running pickup all afternoon as he would be dropping 40-pieces in the playoffs. When your avid appetite for the game can’t be satisfied, lace up in the KD16’s. Nike Air and Zoom Air work together to provide speed and stability for all four quarters, while the upper is lower and the overall load is lighter compared to the previous iteration. It's ideal for the hoopaholic who can’t say no to just one more game. This special design celebrates the unofficial hoops capital of the world, where KD is forever beloved. New York, New York Brooklyn, the city that crowns kings, embraced KD with arms wide open and took him in as one of their own. Real recognize real, game recognize game. This design salutes the five boroughs that breed hoopers by the bushel. Its palette spans from the edges of old luxury to the neon glow of the nightlife, where the stars are bright and authentic as the streets that made them. Cushion and Comfort A lightweight Nike Air unit at the bottom of the upper gives KD the cushioning and comfort he needs to thrive during a long season. Cushiony foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation. Groove and Move Grooves and ridges in the sole help provide multidirectional traction and court feel. A stiff piece under the arch helps keep the shoe stable and help you smoothly transition from heel to toe. Broken-In Feel Multilayer mesh in the upper is lightweight and dimensional with a broken-in feel. Added thickness in strategic areas helps to keep your foot in place by reducing small movements. Like Clockwork The outsole resembles watch gears, which represent the inner workings of KD and the methodical nature of how he operates.
