Kevin Durant, the star of the Phoenix Suns, has recently been a hot topic for his remarks on the NBA's new All-Star game format, but he has no grievances about the Association's annual Christmas Day celebration.
Players have the opportunity to wear festive footwear as the NBA displays its best players over the holidays every year. Durant's Nike KD17 will be released in a special Christmas version this year on December 26, 2024.
Holidays are here and Christmas is the favorite time of the year for everyone. In addition to LeBron James and Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant is the third NBA player to sign a lifetime contract with Nike.
The 34-year-old and the brand have been collaborators since 2007, and together, they have released 16 pairs of shoes so far. It was uncertain if the lifetime agreement is simply an extension of his present deal to cover the balance of Durant’s playing days, with the guarantee of the retirement package also active, or a new deal entirely.
Now the collaboration has resulted in a new addition to the roster with the KD17 "Christmas" Basketball shoes. The Aquarius Blue upper of the KD17 "Christmas" was inspired by the serenity of winter scenery. This Nike KD17 chooses an ice blue colour scheme of Aquarius Blue/Glacier Blue-White-Metallic Silver, while many other Christmas sneakers go for the obvious and wear festive hues like red and green.
The shoes have a gradient, frosty design with several blue hues scattered around the upper. They have an opaque translucent outsole and a white midsole to balance them out.
The chilly concept is complemented by the frosted touch of silver embellishments on the midfoot panels and Swoosh. This trainer is a wintertime standout because to the clean, crisp finish provided by the white trim on the outsole and midsole.
A motif of broken glass, which represents strength and resilience—qualities connected to Durant's game—improves the design. The tongue's EASY MONEY logo gives it a unique touch while tying the design to KD's distinctive aesthetic. This shoe's responsive "Zoom Air" cushioning and lightweight, designed mesh upper provide exceptional comfort and support.
Release date:
The KD17 "Christmas" will be released on Deceber 26, 2024, making it the ideal winter wear option well into January and February. Whether you are a basketball novice or a pro, this shoe is your ideal go to for a Christmas present!
