Nike KD 14

[air jsarg]

You just know his PE's are gonna go crazy, with how much creativity they could do with that upper

 

[noblekane]

wish the straps on these sig shoes were removeable. really not that hard to do man. look at the old *** air force high

 

[tigo0240]

So why does he get a skull print and consumers get some janky *** animal print?

 

[blacklion23]

I’m having a hard time seeing skulls in that print lol

 

[lexluthor]

In for these....first KD since the 7

 

[Public Enemy]

It's a different pattern, but that's just like the 13s where you get a randomly generated pattern for each shoe.
Like the KD13 "Chill" colorway that had different colors for different orders

 

[BasedReverend]

Only had a pair of kd 7’s and ran those into the ground, would love to get another pair but I’m loving these maybe because if the strap return. I’m in though it was like love at first sight and haven’t had the feeling with kd’s ever since the 7. So hoping for good things to come out this model.

 

[Shoeboy4]

Directly from NDC product page Zoom strobel and cushlon is the cushioning no extra zoom in forefoot like 13

 

[watermelondeity]

They didnt even try to give that thing on the lateral side a name

"stiff piece" lmfao

 

[sooperhooper]

Exactly. Seems like they'd call it a lateral interior stabilizing disc.

 

[vettez06]

So far I’ve only seen zoom strobel, no double stack heel or forefoot.

Thanks for the info

FEEL FRESH, PLAY LONG.

Kevin Durant lurks on the wing, waiting for the right time to strike before slicing his way through defenses. The KD14 is designed to help versatile, relentless players like KD feel fresh all game. Multilayer mesh and a midfoot strap help reduce you foot's movements inside the shoe. Full-length Zoom Air cushioning plus Cushlon foam give back energy for lasting performance.

Zero-Distraction Fit, 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.

Strap In

A hook-and-loop strap wraps over the top of the laces for support and a secure fit. It's a subtle nod to the strap of the KD4 and takes inspiration from the shape of the grim reaper's scythe.

Ultimate Responsive Sensation

The full-length Air Zoom Strobel unit is stitched directly to the upper. It helps cut unnecessary weight and provides full-foot responsiveness. Cushlon foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation.

Tuned Traction

Grooves and ridges in the sole help provide multidirectional traction and court feel. A stiff piece under the arch helps keep the shoe stable. Both shoes together reveal the face of a skull.

More Benefits

Stiff piece on the outer edge provides midfoot stability.
Shown: Black/Copa/Orange Trance/White

Can see how soles will make a skull. See through areas are eyes, yellow spots nostrils, the small circles near the front will make the teeth. Pretty creative considering they kept the pattern a herringbone type.

 

[Public Enemy]

I kept thinking the yellow spots would be the eyes so I was missing it. Nice.

Just did that too, although you were smart enough to put some space in between. ehhh I think it's a stretch but they tried

 

[gwizzle]

Hopefully they drop ID options on 14th

only way I’m buying a pair lol

A stretch? I think it's clear. Seeing the skull in that upper pattern is more of a stretch to me. I do see it tho.

 

[tigo0240]

His PE print reminds me of Terminator 2

Look again but use the indented outline to form the outside and then those ovals also male the teeth.

 

[blastercombo]

No way those uppers are skulls. China has issues with skull imagery. That’ll mess up a lot of money

 

[watermelondeity]

seems abstract enough that the uppers wouldn't be a problem in china

KD gettin spooky tho I mess with it!

Oh I saw it with the lines on the soles. I created it myself using the images of the sole. It's still a bit abstract for me but I like that they tried it. Makes things interesting. I like the idea. I'm still pissed Nike didn't release the AM90 Dia De Los Muertos in the U.S., so I like the idea.

 

[yrok1986]

Wtf is up with these thick-*** triple-stuffed Oreo midsoles? Ruins the whole shoe for me. Looking like Fisher Price: My First Midsole.

With him fully embracing the slim reaper moniker, he could really cook up a spicy Halloween colorway.
