Kevin Durant is a top-tier NBA player on the ascent to greatness, positioning himself as one of the basketball league's all-time leading scorers. For All-Star Weekend 2024, Nike Inc. is honoring the player's achievements by releasing the next iteration of the KD shoe, "Easy Money."

Taking an exceptionally practical approach to the concept of cash, the upcoming "Easy Money" sneaker colorway has a plethora of distinctive details that set it apart from the other pairs in the industry.

The layout has similarities to the KD 3 shoe with the same name, which released earlier this year in August. The tongue tabs encompass a holographic dollar bill and the style also ties to the eponymous KD 3 shoe.

In addition to this, the $35 lettering that is displayed on the vectorized "Playful Pink" topping on the midfoot pays homage to Kevin Durant's jersey number.

The KD 16 "Easy Money" features a color scheme that goes beyond the typical green that is usually linked to currency. The sole unit of the shoe has embellishments in bright orange and light lemon, which provide a dynamic contrast to the overall look of the shoe.

The top is made of engineered mesh, which features a vibrant shade of green. The shoe also includes stunning violet swooshes and fuchsia tongues that contrast with this color, offering an eye-catching style.

The Swoosh's site underlines the importance of the engineered multi-layer mesh and states:

“Multi-layer mesh in the upper is lightweight and dimensional with a broken-in feel. Added thickness in strategic areas helps to keep your foot in place by reducing small movements.”

It further sheds light on the functionality of the innovative Zoom Air unit that has been incorporated in the sole of the Nike KD 16 silhouette.

“KD loved the 15's underfoot experience, so we took inspiration from the previous iteration and added a bottom-loaded forefoot Zoom Air unit for extra pop and snappiness when the game hits high speeds. Responsive full-length foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation,” it continues.
