#SoleWatch: Kevin Durant Working His Way Back in the 'EYBL' Nike KD 4

Durant strays even further away from the KD 7.

Today, the Oklahoma City Thunder announced that Kevin Durant is expected to return from a second foot procedure within 1-2 weeks. Perhaps confirming that timetable, the reigning MVP was spotted putting in some work ahead of tonight's game against the Los Angeles Clippers.

Throughout the season, Durant's reluctance to wearing his Nike KD 7 signature shoe has been well documented — and it doesn't look like his stance will be changing anytime soon. His pre-game shooting was done while wearing a pair of 'EYBL' KD 4s, which are 3 years old. Unless the Elite version has been altered enough to fit his needs, Durant may be completely done with the KD 7.
