Nike Introduces the Black Label Colorway of the KD 18
Nike introduces a new tonal colorway palette of the KD 18 basketball sneakers with the Black Label iteration. The model is set to launch officially on February 14th and is defined by black and Coconut Milk colors. The exclusive model joins the Nike Basketball Black Label collection and there are only 1,988 pairs.
The limited capsule ensures that each sneaker is individually numbered off and it is a celebration of Kevin DUrant's birth tear. The KD 18 is designed with inspiration from the vintage Nike ACG outdoor footwear. From this, it fuses rugged aesthetics and is then elevated by modern basketball performance technology. The upper is designed in a sleek black color made from breathable mesh materials overlaying, a durable rubberized toe cap, and textured panels.
