KD16 "B.A.D."

Wanda Durant is the real MVP, but KD also has to give props to his grandma, Barbara A. Davis, the one who told KD his height would be a gift. Her front porch was a sanctuary of sorts for the Durant family, a gathering place on Sundays to congregate, break bread, celebrate the good times and weather the bad. Her enduring memory lives on in this special design, featuring her favorite color, purple. Check the tongue and insole for her initials, B.A.D.

Cushion and Comfort

A lightweight Nike Air unit at the bottom of the upper gives KD the cushioning and comfort he needs to thrive during a long season.

High-Speed Haven

KD loved the 15’s underfoot experience, so we took inspiration from the previous iteration and added a bottom-loaded forefoot Zoom Air unit for extra pop and snappiness when the game hits high speeds. Responsive full-length foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation.

Groove and Move

Grooves and ridges in the sole help provide multidirectional traction and court feel. A stiff piece under the arch helps keep the shoe stable and help you smoothly transition from heel to toe.

Broken-In Feel

Multilayer mesh in the upper is lightweight and dimensional with a broken-in feel. Added thickness in strategic areas helps to keep your foot in place by reducing small movements.

Like Clockwork

The outsole resembles watch gears, which represent the inner workings of KD and the methodical nature of how he operates.
