NBA Star Kevin Durant Embraces the ’90s With His Next Nike Sneaker
Although the upcoming iteration of NBA star Kevin Durant’s latest signature Nike sneaker is loaded with modern tech, aesthetically it evokes the ’90s.
The next take of the Nike KD12 to hit stores is “The ’90s Kid,” a sneaker executed in a color palette straight from the era. According to Nike, the colorway is inspired by its classic Air Command Force hoops shoe, which was worn by Woody Harrelson’s character, Billy Hoyle, in the iconic 1992 film, “White Men Can’t Jump.”
