KD’s greatest gift? His stamina. The Slim Reaper never tires, both in terms of passion for the game or energy come crunch time. The KD18 gives him unreal responsive cushioning with a combo Air Zoom cushioning and Nike Air. KD’s basketball IQ? Also off the charts. This special design salutes Seat Pleasant, Maryland, where he learned to process the game at a high level. It pays homage to the Air Terra Humara, another KD favorite that originated in the DMV.

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, keeping 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
• Nike®’s 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- It works with the forefoot Air Zoom unit to give you a snappy first step while also providing support and stability

Durability & Traction:

• The outsole pattern looks like a topographical map, with an array of contoured ridges that bend and deflect in multiple directions to provide traction for every move
