It has been an incredible year for Kevin Durant,\u00a0<\/strong>not only on the court, but also on the sneaker front with the Nike KD VI<\/a>. To say that the shoe has crushed it in the market would be a huge understatement. The numbers don’t lie either. Sales of his line of signature footwear has skyrocketed from $35M last year to $175M this year (source<\/a>).<\/p>\n With KD and the Thunder taking on the Spurs tonight in a crucial Game 5 in an even series, we wanted to take a minute to take you through his top 10 KD VIs. Have a look through the list and let us know what is your favorite pair of Nike KD VIs!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The\u00a0Nike KD VI \u201cLiger\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0draws inspiration from the king-size cat. An electric green upper packs atomic orange stripes, accented by night factor nods on the tongue, branding and medial paneling.<\/p>\n Colorway:<\/b>\u00a0Electric Green\/Night Factor-Atomic Orange <\/p>\n Nike KD VI Meteorology<\/em><\/p>\n The\u00a0Nike KD VI \u201cMeteorology\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0celebrates his aspirations of working as a weatherman, tying his meteorology ambitions to locations that shaped his basketball becomings. Austin, TX, Oklahoma City, OK and Washington, DC are denoted on the doppler map design, referencing the longitudinal lines of his formative cities.<\/p>\n Colorway:<\/b>\u00a0Black\/Atomic Red-Medium Olive <\/p>\n \n Nike KD VI – Energy<\/em><\/p>\n Nike Basketball is closing out 2013 strong with a series of great releases including the\u00a0Nike KD VI Energy<\/strong>. This\u00a0Nike KD VI<\/a>\u00a0is a limited release only for sale in a select number of stores. These KDs sport several colors on the upper that are sure to be a head turner. The colors are very reminiscent of the\u00a0Nike KD IV Nerf\u00a0that released two years prior.<\/p>\n Colorway:<\/b>\u00a0Cool Grey\/Electric Green-Bright Crimson <\/p>\n \n Nike KD VI “Easter”<\/em><\/p>\n Kevin Durant\u2019s latest Easter sneaker was a huge hit. The\u00a0Nike KD VI \u201cEaster\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0adds to the plethora of colorways that have already been released of the superstar\u2019s latest low-top signature, and stands as one of the most daring designs to date. This holiday rendition of the\u00a0KD VI<\/a>\u00a0features a celebratory design with a custom camouflage pattern mixed with Easter iconography. Multiple shades of green fuse together to compose the upper, while black and orange detailing contributes contrast on the unique graphics.<\/p>\n Colorway:<\/b>\u00a0Light Lucid Green\/Atomic Mango-Lucid Green-Green <\/p>\n \n Nike KD VI PBJ<\/em><\/p>\n Kevin Durant is a fan of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. With fond memories in Maryland of his Aunt Pearl serving up PB&Js when he was a kid, KD wanted to pay tribute to one of his favorite foods with a special colorway of his new signature sneaker. The\u00a0Nike KD VI \u201cPeanut Butter and Jelly\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0fully embodies its nickname, dressed in laser orange, raspberry red and black for balance. What truly separates this KD VI<\/a> from the pack is the large Swoosh that literally looks like it is dripping with raspberry jelly.<\/p>\n Colorway:<\/b>\u00a0Laser Orange\/Raspberry Red-Black-Gold Sand <\/p>\n \n Nike KD VI “Aunt Pearl”<\/em><\/p>\n Set to a floral finish, the\u00a0Nike KD VI \u201cAunt Pearl\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0pays homage to Durant’s late aunt. Forever close to KD, Aunt Pearl encouraged a young Durant to follow his dreams before passing from lung cancer in 2000. This tribute colorway launches in conjunction with the Kay Yow Foundation, providing proceeds for cancer research and sporting the foundation\u2019s logo on the silo\u2019s tongue.<\/p>\n Colorway:<\/b>\u00a0Light Arctic Pink\/Photo Blue-Vivid Pink <\/p>\n \n Nike KD VI “D.C. Preheat”<\/em><\/p>\n The “Preheat” Nike KD VI colorway kicked off Kevin Durant\u2019s latest signature shoe launch. This makeup relies on bold colors, highlighting each aspect of the model. A graphic upper finds inspiration from the lines of a wristwatch, playing to the precision theme and placed over a map of the nation\u2019s capital.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Colorway:<\/b>\u00a0Gamma Blue\/Dusty Grey-Flash Lime <\/p>\n \n Nike KD VI “Illusion”<\/em><\/p>\n The\u00a0Nike KD VI \u201cIllusion\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0is full of flavor, packing a printed upper atop a glow-in-the-dark sole. Handdrawn imagery appears all over the exterior, while a graphic lining adds to the \u201cGumbo\u201d theme of the 2014 Nike All-Star kicks.<\/p>\n Colorway:<\/b>\u00a0Multi-Color\/Green Glow-Black <\/p>\n The\u00a0Nike KD VI EXT QS \u201cFloral\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0sees another lifestyle take on the straight hooping shoe. Forefoot Zoom Air and heel Air Max cushioning are intact, as the upper ditches Hyperfuse in favor of floral fabric and d-ring eyelets on this\u00a0Nike KD VI<\/a>. Black branding, and orange Air window and translucent outsole contrast the blue-based upper, with a white midsole appealing to an array of wearers.<\/p>\n Colorway:<\/b>\u00a0Multi-Color\/Black <\/p>\n Kevin Durant\u2019s latest \u201cWhat the KD\u201d edition is releasing to the public. The\u00a0Nike KD VI \u201cWhat the KD\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0has been officially announced as a June drop, marking the latest time one of the Durantula\u2019s official \u201cWhat the\u201d designs has actually hit general retail.
