KD’s greatest gift? His stamina. The Slim Reaper never tires, both in terms of passion for the game or energy come crunch time. A combo of Air Zoom cushioning and Nike Air gives him unreal responsive cushioning. And Nike® poked holes all over the upper to help reduce the weight and add breathability, so he can hoop all day. This debut design combines KD’s roots and Nike®’s ACG catalog, both of which run deep through the heart of D.C.
Athlete Inspired Details:
- The rubber cage is inspired by the Terra Humara, a staple of Nike ACG (All Conditions Gear), which was “culturally” birthed in D.C., home of KD
- It also features suede and rubber hits throughout, which speak to the toughness, grit and longevity of KD’s 19 years (and counting) at the pro level
Design:
- The upper is made of open-holed sandwich mesh, which not only offers a different level of breathability when the action heats up, but also helps reduce the weight of the shoe
- A tough plastic cage offers firmness on both sides of your foot. It helps keep you upright
In-Shoe Comfort:
- A big forefoot Air Zoom unit offers a different level of velocity when exploding, either on the dead run or out of a standstill position
- The forefoot unit offers a different level of snappy pop when the game revs up
- Latest version of Cushlon foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation and freshness for four quarters
- The bottom layer of the upper has Nike Air cushioning at the heel to add a pop in your step
- A strong plastic plate directly underfoot conforms as you flex
