Durant always remains undeterred whenever this happens as he continues to play until he has an opportunity to put his shoe back on.<\/p>\n<p>The Warriors star however, doesn&#8217;t tie his sneaker back on. Instead, Durant slips on his shoes as if they were a slipper, which according to him they essentially are because they are so lightweight and aerodynamic.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kevin Durant loses shoe, continues playing\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vnELLnlL0q8?start=7&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I miss a couple of possessions because my shoes come off,&#8221; Durant <a href=\"https:\/\/streamable.com\/avrfc\">recently told reporters<\/a>. &#8220;These are like slippers. I just try to be efficient as I can [when I create my sneakers]. I don&#8217;t want something that&#8217;s too bulky. Sometimes they may come off but the good thing about it is I can slip &#8217;em back on and keep playing. Hopefully next year, I will be more stable in my shoes so I don&#8217;t have to worry about it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Durant added that he doesn&#8217;t like anything &#8220;too tight&#8221; on his body, which is why his sneakers are usually tied pretty loosely.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Anything too tight on my body as I play, I feel like it restricts me a little bit,&#8221; Durant said. &#8220;So I don&#8217;t wear the arm sleeves, the undershirts, finger tape, wristbands or none of that stuff because I&#8217;m already skinny as it is and I don&#8217;t need anything else weighing me down. So I just want to be aerodynamic out there and I guess that&#8217;s how I view my shoes as well.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the middle of several games this season, Warriors All-Star forward Kevin Durant has come out of his signature Nike&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":149,"featured_media":592067,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1224791,1225493],"tags":[1213684,1083],"cultivate_rss":[],"class_list":{"2":"type-post"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.0 (Yoast SEO v24.0) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kevin Durant on his Nike KDs Coming off in Games: They are &quot;Like Slippers&quot; | Snkrs Day<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Where to buy Kevin Durant on his Nike KDs Coming off in Games: They are &quot;Like Slippers&quot; shoes.
