Kevin Durant KD18 "Wayne"Basketball ShoesWhere did KD learn to score the ball like that? If you ask his dad, Wayne, he’d say KD was born a bucket. It’s in the Durant bloodline. This special KD18 pays homage to Wayne, a hooper himself, who knows a thing or two or about putting the rock through the rim. A combo of Air Zoom cushioning and Nike Air gives KD unreal responsive cushioning. And we poked holes all over the upper to help reduce the weight and add breathability, so he can hoop all day. Zoom, ZoomA big forefoot Air Zoom unit offers a different level of velocity when exploding, either on the dead run or out of a standstill position. It offers a different level of snappy pop when the game revs up. Our latest version of Cushlon foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation and freshness that can help you come the 4th quarter.Pop your StepsThe bottom layer of the upper has Nike Air cushioning at the heel to add a pop in your step. A strong plastic plate directly underfoot conforms as you flex. It works with the forefoot Air Zoom unit to give you a snappy first step while also providing support and stability.Let it BreatheThe upper is made of open holed sandwich mesh, which not only offers a different level of breathability when the action heats up but helped us reduce the weight of the shoe.Stay ContainedA tough plastic cage offers customizable firmness on both sides of your foot that molds to your foot. It helps keep you on top of the platform. HV1992-100
