The Nike KD 19 “Orange Crush” Releases On June 13th

Kevin Durant has already established legendary status, both on the court and with one of the most storied signature series in Nike’s history. Though the line still carries its own trademark language and overall charm, there’s been a shift in the past few editions, where the 17 and 18 have celebrated Swoosh icons of old and the 19 aligns with a current wave taking over Beaverton’s products.

This certainly won’t be our first time staking this claim, nor are we the firs tot this conclusion, but the Nike KD 19 presents as another futuristic feather in Nike’s cap; the GT Future and GT Cut 4 have upheld that same ethos as inline silhouettes. With product listings now going live and official Nike imagery loading in, we can now confirm that the glossy exteriors of Durant’s latest are inspired by his eponymous nickname, adding rigid linework as continament on the sides.

Further, this allows us to tie down the tech features you can expect on your pair. The Nike KD 19 carries a Nike Air Zoom strobel within a Cushlon 3.0 carrier,
uniting with the midfoot plate you can spot underfoot for propulsion befitting the Slim Reaper. Multi-directional traction, executed as a network of lightning bolts, aims to make these a high-performer regardless of your style of play. Finally, plush collars and a fabric mesh tongue create a softer on-foot experience than might be suggested by the candy paint exteriors.

As mentioned above, the Nike KD 19 “Orange Crush” will begin the silhouette’s journey on June 13th. A $155 retail price is confirmed in adult sizing.
