Over the last year, Nike has been hard at work bringing back some of their most classic basketball models from the last three decades. Few athletes have had a successful signature line like that of Phoenix Suns’ star Kevin Durant over at Nike, recently unveiling his latest Nike KD 18. This next release throws it back to 2012 when the Nike KD 4 first releases in this Texas Longhorns colorway, honoring Durant’s alma mater.

The Nike KD 4 first landed in 2012 while Kevin Durant was with the Oklahoma City Thunder, immediately becoming a powerhouse basketball shoe at the time and still regarded as his best silhouette to ever release. The shoe dropped classic colorways like the “Galaxy,” “Gold Medal,” and “Scoring Title” editions to signify memorable moments in Durant’s career.
The shoes also received a Burnt Orange treatment which was clad with the Texas Longhorns logo along the tongue. Playing for the Longhorns in 2006-07 before entering the league, Kevin Durant won the Naismith Award, Wooden Award, and took home first-team All-American honors.
