Kevin Durant is very different from most celebrities. He doesn’t seem to bask in the limelight that comes with being a very popular superstar, always credits his teammates for personal achievements and seems to live a very subtle life away from all of the hoopla. Basically, he lets his game do the talking. However, his signature kicks have been known to scream, yell and shout for attention. Throughout the four years Durant has been a signature Nike athlete, the Swoosh has created some extremely loud kicks that are surefire head-turners. The recently revealed “Nerf” KDIVs are definitely at the top of that list; yet, there have been many more eye-popping Kevin Durant Nikes. Check out The 15 Loudest Kevin Durant Nikes to Date<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Nike KDII “Creamsicle”<\/h3>\n

The buzz around the Nike KDII was very quiet until Kevin and his Thunder teammates smothered the court with these “Creamsicle” KDIIs in a nationally televised bout with the Dallas Mavericks during the 2009-2010 NBA season. The “Creamsicle” KDIIs are still his loudest to date.<\/p>\n

Or maybe not. The primarily yellow colored KD IIIs were apart of the Nike Basketball “Stoplight” Pack that also featured vivid colorways of the Nike LeBron 8 V2 and the Nike Zoom Kobe VI. He premiered these on Christmas Day 2010.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike supplied Durant with an all-red, lenticular patterned KD III for the 2011 NBA All-Star game. While King James’ “All-Star” LeBron 8 V2s were undoubtedly the loudest shoes on the court that day, Durant’s “All-Star” KD IIIs definitely turned heads as well.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Zoom KD III “EA Sports”<\/h3>\n

We have seen many video game inspired kicks but none have taken video gaming so literal. The pixelated print seen on the side panels is a direct nod to video games. Nike designed this shoe in honor of Kevin Durant gracing the cover of EA Sports NBA Elite ?11.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike KDII “Velvet Hoop”<\/h3>\n

Nike chose Kevin Durant to be one of the lead endorsers for the Hyperize when it first released in 2009. Because of this, they gave him, and a few other NBA ballers, throwback characters in the Hyperize ad titled “Hyperizers ? Don?t Criticize (Hyperize)”. His Hyperize character, Velvet Hoop, inspired this particular colorway of Durant?s second signature shoe. A red patent leather base combined with a yellow midsole, a green outsole and a multi-colored inner lining definitely solidified itself as one of Durant’s loudest.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Zoom KD III “Twitter Follower”<\/h3>\n

Much like Kobe Bryant and the “Kid Hollywood” Nike Zoom Kobe V, Kevin Durant and Nike let the fans take control of this design. This particular colorway of the KD III was designed by one of Durant’s loyal Twitter followers; he rocked this pair in a regular season game during the latter part of the 2010-2011 regular season. Sure, it features the same color scheme seen on most game-worn PEs by Durant, yet, the gradient effect sets this shoe apart from the rest.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Zoom KD III “Skills Academy”<\/h3>\n

Patent leather plus vivid color schemes equal a recipe for broken necks. This pair was spotted a few months back at one of Kevin Durant’s “Skills Academy” basketball camps after the 2010-2011 NBA season.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike KD1 “H.O.R.S.E.”<\/h3>\n

This KD1 was the beginning of Kevin Durant’s loud signature sneakers. He debuted this pair in his H.O.R.S.E. competition win during the 2009 NBA All-Star Weekend.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Zoom KD III “Chrome” (China Tour)<\/h3>\n

Chris Webber may still have the best chrome shoes of all time, but these metallic monsters definitely belong close to the top. Would this have been a definite purchase for you if Nike released them last season?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike KDII “3M” (H.O.R.S.E. 2010)<\/h3>\n
Nike KDII "3M"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

At a first glance, this KD II seems to be subtler than any other shoe on this list. However, we all know what an all-reflective 3M upper does under certain light.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike KDII “China\/Scoring Title”<\/h3>\n

An all-photo blue upper definitely leaves its mark amongst Durant’s loudest kicks to date. Nike released the “Scoring Title” pair in limited quantity, while the similarly styled all-blue pair (including the sole) was exclusive to China.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike KDII “All-Star”<\/h3>\n

Following the release of the aforementioned “Creamsicle” KDII, Nike released this similarly styled KDII “All-Star”, a shoe that Durant wore in the 2010 NBA All-Star game. How can this shoe not be on the list with its daring red upper and blue tinted, translucent sole?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike KD1 “McDonald’s All American Game”<\/h3>\n
Nike KD1 "McDonald's All American Game"<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Although Kevin Durant did not wear these in the McDonald’s All American game, Nike backtracked and released a limited number of this McDonald’s All American themed KD1. Yellow and red patent leather is eye-popping combination to say the least.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Nike Zoom KDIV “Nerf”<\/h3>\n

What’s not to like about a Nerf inspired basketball shoe? Since it’s a Nerf-themed shoe, it was only right for Nike to go with an extremely bright color scheme. Also, we couldn’t help but notice the ?KD35? graphic on the tongue in Nerf?s classic print.<\/p>\n
