Not too shabby. Really like the colorway. Retro box is cool!
Tried them on and I’m not a huge fan of the lace loop setup. Harder (not impossible) to get a secure lockdown. I was in a bit of rush but they were comfortable on initial try on.

How's the sizing?
I'm gonna assume they run similar to the 17 being that they use the same mid/outsole? 17's ran big for me.
Those do look fire.

Sizing is the same for me as the 17. Interestingly, KD’s last two models, at least for me, have run a little long and I’ve gone .5 down from my normal Nike size in hoops sneakers. I prefer a more snug fit as shoes that have too much room or extra room (mainly in the heal) don’t give me the secure feel that I have the right lockdown; which may lead to a greater chance of a rolled ankle.

Kevin Durant’s New Signature Shoe, the Nike KD18, is Built for Comfort and Control — NIKE, Inc.
The Nike KD18, the latest in Kevin Durant’s signature footwear line, features a new midfoot cage that keeps the foot locked down for game-changing control and comfort.
about.nike.com
"As one of the few hoopers to achieve 30,000 career points, Kevin Durant continues to evolve his game, meeting the moment of today with an effortless efficiency that stands the test of time.
As Durant evolves, so too does his footwear. Enter the Nike KD18, Durant’s latest signature silhouette, which powers his performance and encapsulates his style, fueling basketball culture with the latest Nike innovations and a modern look that takes inspiration from an unlikely source.
The silhouette is designed to excel for all four quarters, providing lockdown responsiveness and best-in-class cushioning that enable the sense of effortlessness at the center of Durant's game.
A new midfoot cage inspires confidence in every cut and drive, making Durant and hoopers like him feel at one with their footwear — promoting game-changing movement and record-breaking performance.
A TPU shank extends over a Cushlon 3.0 insole, connecting Air Zoom units in the forefoot and heel with an underfoot construction familiar to diehard fans of Durant’s signature footwear.
“There’s an expectation that you’re going to get ultimate performance and comfort from every shoe in KD’s signature line,” says Ross Klein, Senior Director, Men's Basketball Footwear Product Design. “The opportunity with this silhouette is to help KD get to his next step, and the midfoot lockdown and great underfoot traction give him and the hoopers who wear his shoe the confidence they need to get to their spot.”
The KD18 features a design system that stands out on the hardwood and in everyday life. Taking inspiration from the Nike Terra Humara trail runner of the late 1990s, the shoe blends a nostalgic Nike look with Durant’s contemporary taste, creating a canvas for bold color and material expression.
The silhouette, first unveiled ahead of NBA All-Star Weekend as part of the Nike Black Label collection, will be available globally in the KD18 New Timeline colorway April 18 at nike.com and select retail locations. The EYBL Rocket Power colorway of the KD18 launches April 25 on SNKRS, and the KD18 Chain Reaction colorway will be available May 1 at nike.com and select retail locations."

I believe Zach cut one open and it looked the same similar to 17. So only in forefoot and air strobel in heel. But double check that.

I do like the upper, but they really mailed it in with the midole and outsole. Straight up recycled from last year
