Created in partnership with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, the Nike KD 12 “Aunt Pearl” is the latest signature shoe to tribute Kevin Durant’s late Aunt Pearl.

The “Aunt Pearl” line launched back in 2012 on the KD 4. This version of the Nike KD 12 includes graphics and details from previous Nike KD Aunt Pearl colorways. It features pearl graphic on the collar foam from the KD 4, sock liner graphic from the KD 5, rose heel graphic from the KD 6, wing strap across the forefoot from the KD 7, heel embroidery from the KD 9, the material on the tongue, collar, and Swoosh from the KD 10, and the outsole marbling from the KD 11.

5% of the revenue from each Aunt Pearl goes back to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The funding they raise goes to researching for a cure against all women’s cancers, not just breast cancer and developing programs in underserved communities.
