Kevin Durant Honors 'Aunt Pearl' with Special Release

Kevin Durant's Nike line again pays tribute to a fallen family member.

by Brendan Dunne

The Nike KD 7 'Aunt Pearl', release date Feb. 19, is the most personal pair yet in terms of the KD 7 releases.

Durant''s signature line has often focused on stories relating to his childhood and upbringing, but this series has taken to it heartwarming new levels by honoring the man's late Aunt Pearl. The shoe, also a tie in with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, upgrades the typical mid-foot strap with a winged texture and keeps things in line with the pink precedent set by previous designs. The Nike KD 7 hasn't had a real chase-pair yet, the closet thing so far being the 'Gold Medal', but there's no doubt that this 'Aunt Pearl' will be coveted.
