Nike Basketball is starting 2025 strong with the release of the KD 17 “Dusty Amethyst,” a sleek addition to Kevin Durant’s signature sneaker line. This iteration features a refined lavender and purple color palette that balances soft tones with bold accents, making it a standout both on and off the court.

The design highlights premium materials, with a textured velvet tongue delivering a touch of luxury. The upper blends lightweight mesh and TPU overlays for breathability and durability, ensuring peak performance during intense gameplay. Signature branding details, including Durant’s name embroidered on the heel and the KD17 logo on the tongue, add a personalized finish to the sneaker.

Performance-wise, the KD 17 continues to excel. Nike’s full-length Zoom Air cushioning ensures responsive energy return, while a supportive midsole and multidirectional outsole provide optimal traction for quick cuts and agile moves. The “Dusty Amethyst” edition doesn’t just look good—it’s built to perform.

The Nike KD 17 “Dusty Amethyst” is set to release on January 1, 2025, at select Nike Basketball retailers and online via Nike.com. Available in men’s sizing, this elegant performance sneaker will retail for $150 USD.
