Meteorology-Inspired Kicks

The NIKE KD7 Shoes Come Fully Equipped

— June 26, 2014 — Fashion
The NIKE KD7 shoes are the latest designs from Kevin Durant, the all-star basketball player, who has a certain fascination with meteorology. Not only do these look good, but they are fully equipped with the details to propel wearers into a new league of efficiency.

The shoe itself was designed by Leo Chang, and it "features a forefoot mesh, dynamic NIKE flywire technology and a midfoot strap," as stated on DesignBoom. No expenses were spared in the making of the shoe, as Durant wanted it to be of the highest quality, and actually improve a players performance. For coloring, the design is quite bright, so wearers can be sure that they will stand out on the court, even if they are not the best players.
