Leaked photos from earlier this week hinted that Kevin Durant’s latest signature sneaker was coming sometime soon. It made sense considering when Durant and Nike like to release his sneakers — during the lead up to the NBA Playoffs as opposed to before the start of the regular season — and on Saturday morning, we received confirmation that the new KDs are coming.
Nike announced on its Twitter account that the KD12 will drop on April 1, nine days before the Golden State Warriors’ regular season comes to an end. If you’re interested in picking up a pair, they’ll cost you $150.

If you saw the leaked kicks — which were black and white — the obvious thing that sticks out is the unique, multi-colored colorway. According to the SNKRS app, this colorway is called “The 90’s Kid,” and pay tribute to the Nike Air Command Forces from White Men Can’t Jump.
Here are a few photos of some of the finer details of the sneakers, via Nike:
There’s no word on when Durant will debut the sneakers on the court, but if he waits until after they drop, it stands to reason we’ll see them on his feet when the Warriors take on the Denver Nuggets on April 2.
