With each new release, Kevin Durant’s Nike signature line continues to balance innovation with subtle storytelling, and the KD 18 is no exception. As one of the most refined entries in his catalog, the silhouette now arrives in a sleek new “Soft Pearl” colorway just in time for spring.

Built on a breathable mesh base, the upper is coated in light grey and framed by smooth metallic and steely overlays. The Terra Humara-inspired cage returns, further balancing the shoe’s support and flexibility. Reflective details accent the silhouette, catching the light without overwhelming the muted tone of the design.

Signature flourishes continue on the tongue, where Durant’s “Easy Money Sniper” moniker is stitched beneath the label. Inside, the heartbeat-inspired graphic—previously seen on the “Liquid Lime” colorway—returns in a greyed-out version ultra mirrors the upper’s finish aesthetic.

The Nike KD 18 “Soft Pearl” is expected to release on May 1st, 2025 via Nike.com nike shox status ii black gold.
