Kevin Durant’s passion for hip-hop inspired the creation of the Nike KD 15 “Producer Pack,” which celebrated the talents of Boi-1da, Cardo, and 9th Wonder in 2022. Now, with the release of the KD 17, Durant continues to pay homage to the genre by showcasing the influence of Bink!, renowned for his collaborations with Roc-A-Fella Records and Jay-Z on The Blueprint.
Incorporating a Sesame, University Gold, Rough Green, and Monarch color scheme reminiscent of Bink!’s iconic production style, these sneakers pay homage to his earthy-toned, soulful samples. Featuring Bink!’s signature beneath the lateral Swoosh and stitched hands adorning the back heels, these shoes also showcase “HUMBLE” text visible through their semi-translucent outsoles, a tribute to both Durant’s and Bink!’s dedication to their respective crafts.
