The Nike KD 17 “USA” comes in a clean white upper with a dark navy rubber treaded outsole. The TPU molding alongside the sneakers is the hallmark feature here with a red-to-blue gradient shifting along the wave designs. A closer look reveals water-like speckling alongside the design, adding to the depth of the colorway. We see the prominent “KD” logo across the tongue, finishing this very simple, yet effective colorway.
Kevin Durant is a three-time Olympic Gold Medalist with Team USA basketball and has carved a path for himself as one of the greatest American Olympians ever. Always taking the opportunity to represent his country, Durant is the all-time leader for Team USA in points (435), PPG (19.8), field goals (146), 3-pointers (74), and free throws (69). He’ll continue to etch his name in the record books during these upcoming games in Paris.
In Boardroom’s cover story featuring Durant, the Olympian said, “I want to really make a statement on how dominant our players are. Like 40, 50-point wins. I want to do that.”
The Nike KD 17 is now available on Nike’s website along with the Team USA Basketball apparel collection. The shoes are still available in limited quantities and come with a retail tag of $150, making these a very affordable shoe for the comfortability they offer. Don’t miss out on your chance to grab these ahead of the 2024 Paris Olympic Games!
