With another wave of Nike KD 7 colorways on the horizon, we get our first look at this upcoming winged pair.

Nike didn't exactly go Jeremy Scott with this one, but the midfoot cross-strap has been treated to a wing re-design. The white base, gold branding and pink accents suggest that this could be the 'Aunt Pearl' colorway, but nothing on that front has been confirmed. More on this colorway as new details surface.

UPDATE: Confirming rumors, the winged Nike KD 7 is the Aunt Pearl colorway. The shoe is the latest in a series that honors Kevin Durant's late aunt, who bravely battled lung cancer until 2000.
