Kevin Durant is back in the Lone Star State. The NBA legend has left the Phoenix Suns in a blockbuster trade that sees him put on a Houston Rockets uniform, though this isn’t the first time he’s played for a Texas-based basketball squad. Before being drafted by the Seattle SuperSonics, KD was hitting the court for the Texas Longhorns. While we know the Nike KD 4 Longhorns is making a comeback later in the year, his latest signature sneaker, the Nike KD 18, has appeared in a Longhorns-friendly color scheme dubbed Rise.
Inspired by the team that helped shape Durant into the player he is today, the model features a clean mixture of pearl, orange, light bone, and light iron hues. Grey suede paneling wraps around the toe and back toward the eyelets and heel, partially obscured by the Air Terra Humara-inspired midfoot cage.
