After missing most of last year with an injured foot, the OKC All-Star looks to do big things in the <strong>Nike KD8<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Low top but high tech, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snkrsday.com\/tag\/nike-kd-8\/\">Nike KD8<\/a> sees big firsts for both the KD line and Nike Basketball. Up top, the shoe features a lightweight Flyweave upper. What lies beneath is a full-length, articulated Zoom Air sole. Both get debut duties on the KD8, a huge look for Durant and hopefully a huge leap for performance.<\/p>\n<p>Tech aside, the latest KD signature is slated to on June 27th in the limited and patriotic &#8220;July 4th&#8221; colorway. Next up is a wider spread release of the all-red, auto-inspired &#8220;V8&#8221; makeup on July 11th.
