One of the more popular models in the Kevin Durant line, today we take a look at the lineage of the Nike Zoom KD III.
The Nike Zoom KD III ran from November 2010, debuting on ‘Black Friday,’ to October 2011. They were the first model in the KD line to feature Flywire technology and were once again designed by Leo Chang. Eighteen colorways were released, the most for any Nike KD shoe so far. Everything from GRs, HOH exclusives and even ‘Team Bank’ editions were released. Staying under the $100 price point, the KD III came in at a retail price of $88, just a few dollars more than the previous model.
Continuing to appease fans and garner the attention of the sneaker community, the future of the line was still on the rise with what most people feel is the best model still on its way. Take a look at the history of the Nike Zoom KD III, from its first release to its last, below.
