Kevin Durant, the 2007 NBA draft’s second overall pick, was chosen by the Seattle SuperSonics. Later, the team moved to Oklahoma City, where Durant continued his early career with the Thunder. During this time, he earned the moniker “Easy Money.” Nike Basketball now pays homage to those days with the upcoming release of a special edition Nike KD 3 “Easy Money” colorway. The model itself was worn by Durant while playing alongside Russell Westbrook and James Harden.
The shoe showcases a color scheme inspired by the OKC Thunder, featuring Light Silver, Blue Jay, Steam, Mineral Spruce, and Metallic Copper. The Nike KD 3 boasts a Silver base with a noteworthy detail—a repeating “100” pattern adorning the inner section of the Blue Swooshes. This element pays tribute to Kevin Durant’s “Easy Money” nickname. To complete the design, the shoe incorporates contrasting Metallic Copper accents and a glow-in-the-dark rubber outsole.
Mark your calendars for August 30th, as that’s when the Nike KD 3 “Easy Money” will hit the shelves at selected Nike Basketball retailers and Nike.com. With a retail price of $130 USD, this sneaker offers fans a chance to own a piece of Durant’s early career and the Thunder’s legacy. Don’t miss out on this stylish and nostalgic footwear release.
