Introducing the Nike KD 16 “Aunt Pearl,” a heartfelt tribute to Kevin Durant’s beloved aunt who battled lung cancer and passed away in 2000. This special edition sneaker continues the legacy initiated by the KD 4 in 2012, paying homage to Aunt Pearl while supporting the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.

The KD 16 “Aunt Pearl” showcases a range of captivating Pink shades, inspired by Aunt Pearl herself, adorning the entire shoe. With an engineered mesh upper for breathability, leather overlays for durability, and a cushioned Zoom-infused sole unit for supreme comfort, this sneaker combines style and performance. The shoe is elegantly framed with floral print covering the mudguard and TPU plate. Continuing the theme, there are also subtle wings and floral designs on the tongues. The insoles likely feature meaningful references to Kevin Durant’s late aunt, and the shoe comes in special packaging that complements the overall theme.
