The Nike KD 17 NRG Metro Boomin is part of a line produced by Nike, NBA player Kevin Durant, and producer Metro Boomin that honors the artist’s mother. The Metro Boomin Nike KD 17 NRG comes in a primarily purple colorway of Atomic Violet, black, white, and Hyper Grape that highlights Metro Boomin’s mother’s favorite color. This sneaker features an Air Zoom unit in the forefoot area and was designed for improving gym workout performance. Metro Boomin’s fisheye-like tag on the tongue is the producer’s branding logo, but also represents the struggles of single mothers. In addition, the inside of the padded tongue bears the names of Metro Boomin’s brothers and sisters. For example, the lightning storm graphics on the side panels represent Metro Boomin’s fight to overcome personal struggles and the power behind his effort.
