Nike Presents the KD 4 Sneaker Model in a Gold Metal Colorway

— February 13, 2025 — Fashion
Nike introduces a look at its latest tonal iteration of the KD 4 sneaker model with the launch of the Gold Metal colorway palette. The shoe fuses hues of Metallic Gold, University Red, White, and Obsidian throughout the silhouette and it is set to join the brand's lineup for Fall 2025.

This is the 18th sneaker model between Nike Basketball and Kevin Durant. This silhouette made its return last year and it was a highly anticipated one. The Gold Metal colorway was also seen before back in 2012 and will be making an appearance once again this year. At a glance, the performance model features bold red branding at the Swoosh motif on the strap around the shoe.
