Nike KD 16 Aunt Pearl

The Nike KD 16 NRG Aunt Pearl continues the tradition of paying tribute to Kevin Durant’s Aunt Pearl, who offered support in his formative years and lost her battle with lung cancer in 2000. This sneaker stands out from other Aunt Pearl variations due to the floral-debossed overlay that covers the mesh upper and features a paisley pattern. Durable TPU support wings connect to the midsole and boast rose-like blooms beneath a transparent seal. The Phylon midsole comes with a Zoom Air unit in the forefoot and a responsive Air Strobel unit beneath the heel. The sneaker features a primarily pink colorway of white, fierce pink, pink foam, and hyper pink. Something our experts love is the addition of fuzzy laces. These light-hued laces complement the textile-like mesh of the upper and the woven material that makes up the tongue. The Nike KD 16 NRG Aunt Pearl was released on October 27, 2023, and retailed at $170.
