Brought out to celebrate Team USA's continued dominance in the Olympics basketball, Kevin Durant's ninth signature model is his most technologically advanced yet thanks to a bolstered Flyknit woven upper, Dynamic Flywire support system, and a full-length Zoom cushioning for a comfortable and lightweight ride that's as unique as any basketball performance model on the market today. The Nike KD 9 Gold Medal features an ominous Obsidian upper to match Team USA's road uniforms with Metallic Gold branding on the Swoosh and a 'USA' heel tab.
Throw in University Red on the lining and a pristine icy outsole, and this could be the cleanest KD 9 pair to date. The Nike KD 9 Gold Medal will be available as of today, Monday August 22, for US$150.00 And what watch would perfectly complement the new Nike's?
