Nike KD 5 Release Dates
The Nike KD 5 is the fifth model in Kevin Durant's signature line. Released in 2012, it features a high-cut silhouette, a mix of synthetic and Hyperfuse materials, and Zoom Air cushioning for optimal comfort and responsiveness. With its bold color combinations and Durant's continued success on the court, the KD 5 solidified its place in the sneaker world.
Introduced in 2012, the Nike KD 5 continued Durant’s signature line, marrying performance with style. This model switched to a high-top design and incorporated Max Air in the heel and Zoom Air in the forefoot. This fusion of technologies ensured the KD 5 provided superior comfort and responsiveness.
The KD 5 was well-received by fans for its diverse colorways, which ranged from the bold 'Aunt Pearl' and 'Area 72' to the more understated 'Texas.' The 'What The KD' is a particularly coveted edition, merging different elements from past KD colorways into a single design.
Durant's 2012-2013 season, in which he achieved a 50/40/90 shooting split, further elevated the KD 5's status among fans. Although initially priced at $115, the KD 5 has appreciated in value, with rare colorways commanding high resale prices.
