The Best Colorways Of Kevin Durant’s KD 15 Shoes: “Aunt Pearl,” “What The” & More, Ranked

April 18, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The KD 15 is one of the most popular Kevin Durant shoes. A superstar since his rookie days with the Seattle Supersonics, his signature shoe, the KD, has shared the same popularity among fans and sneakerheads alike. All of the Kevin Durant shoes, from the KD 1 to the KD 15, continue to be one of Nike’s most popular signature lines.

Throughout the years, many sneakers from Durant’s signature line have become fan favorites. Bright colors, unique concepts, dope collabs, and other bold choices have kept each release as exciting as the next. The Nike KD 15 kept this tradition alive, with many releases catching the eyes of fans and easily being some of the most hyped shoes of the season.

With the long-awaited KD 16 gaining hype for its May 2023 release, we’ve seen the complete cycle of the KD 15’s. One of the most critically acclaimed Kevin Durant shoes, the Nike KD 15 was a fan favorite amongst both hoopers and sneakerheads alike in 2022.

6. KD 15 “Pink Royal”

The “Pink Royal” keeps the tradition of sporting vibrant colors. Released towards the end of 2022, fans loved this iteration of the KD 15, even if it didn’t receive as much attention as other popular colorways. This colorway of Kevin Durant’s signature shoes combines pink, light blue, royal blue, and beige. The royal blue on the tongue logo matches the signature Nike Swoosh of the same color. The tan-colored midsole meshes nicely with pink, tan, and peach outsole rubber. The royal blue on the tongue logo matches the signature Nike Swoosh of the same color. Though not as flashy or bright as other colorways, the “Pink Royal” colorway is still a hot choice among fans.

5. KD 15 “Beginnings”

Slightly toned down compared to other flashy colorways, the KD 15 Beginnings still has enough flare to stand out! The shoe is in part inspired by the Nike Zoom Jet Flight from 2001. This colorway includes a heel crafted with 3D-printed technology, specifically tailored for Durant’s liking. Fans got their first look at this sneaker on the feet of Durant during Game 1 of the Nets-Celtics playoffs.

The subtlety in the design of the Kevin Durant shoes stands out just as much as the main features. The border blue laces, red heel tabs, and yellow checks stand out on the nearly all-black colorway. The pink logo matches perfectly with the multi-colored graphic printed on the tongue. The bright red signature heel tab has “EASY” etched. On the bottom of the heel is the number 7 in the same color as the heel tabs. The KD 15 “Beginnings” dropped on June 25, 2022, and was one of the most popular colorways among fans of the Kevin Durant shoes.

4. KD 15 “Aimbot”

One of the more colorful colorways of the KD 15, the Aimbot was one of the bolder sneakers of the season. The bold neon green color is combined with contrasting hits of blue, red, fuchsia, and purple. These colors come together along with splashes on the signature Swoosh, giving the sneaker even more character. The pink KD emblem on the sneaker’s tongue matches the tones of the Swoosh, as well as the colors at the bottom. Released towards the end of the season, these kicks garnered as much attention as Kevin Durant’s electrifying 2021-22 NBA season.

3. KD 15 “What The”

The KD 15 is the fourth entry shoe from Durant’s signature line of shoes to be a part of Nike’s iconic “What The” series. Inspired by the original SB Dunk Low “What The,” this colorful sneaker also references other popular KD colorways. The mismatched colorway results in an eye-popping ensemble that celebrates the legacy of past KD releases.

The left shoe takes inspiration from the “Aunt Pearl”, “Beginnings”, and “Brooklyn Courts” colorways. The right shoe nods to the “Aunt Pearl” and “Aimbot” colorways. Other details are reminiscent of past collaborations between producer 9th Wonder and Nike. Overall, this color release references 10 different colorways of past Kevin Durant shoes.

2. KD 15 “B.A.D.”

Featuring an entirely purple colorway, the KD 15 “B.A.D” is a nod to Kevin Durant’s inner circle. The official colorway of the tonal-shaded sneaker is Space Purple, Oxygen Purple, and Purple Cosmos. He embroidered the names of his close friends inside the tongue of the shoes and the insoles, as well. On the outside of the branded velvet tongue is the signature KD logo, along with rose embroidery. The mesh upper is paired with plastic lace cage detailing and includes a dark purple Swoosh logo across the sides. All of these details and features are wrapped up nicely by the white foam midsole paired with a semi-translucent rubber outsole.

1. KD 15 “Aunt Pearl”

This colorway of the KD 15 gains its namesake from and pays tribute to Kevin Durant’s Aunt Pearl, who was an avid supporter of his basketball beginnings. The multiple shades of pink on the sneakers are an homage to his beloved family member, who passed away from cancer in 2000. Not only was the “Aunt Pearl” a popular release among fans but also originated from a good cause.

The “Aunt Pearl” was a product of a collaboration between Kevin Durant and the Kay Yow Cancer Fund to help raise awareness for the perils of breast cancer. The sneaker has other unique and flashy details. The exclusive colorway’s floral print is featured throughout the upper. The upper is a combination of mesh and suede. The tongues are made of crushed velvet, and also marked with floral print and the signature KD patches. Lastly, the right pull tab of the sneaker has “Aunt Pearl” inscribed on the right pull tab.

On February 9, 2023, the Brooklyn Nets traded Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns in a blockbuster trade. The 34-year-old player is currently preparing to make a deep playoff run with the Suns alongside Chris Paul and Devin Booker following his stint with Brooklyn. In 2019, he signed a four-year $164 million contract with the Nets, which made him one of the five highest-paid players in the NBA. Along with this, Sun’s star player has many off-the-court endorsement deals. Here’s a look at the net worth of Kevin Durant.

Kevin Durant has a net worth of around $200 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. Durant is one of the highest-paid basketball players in the league. Along with the $42 million he makes from his annual NBA salary, Durant also has many endorsement deals and investment opportunities, earning additional tens of millions of dollars per year. Between June 2019 and June 2020, Durant reportedly brought in $65 million through various business ventures. Furthermore, Durant is an avid investor in the tech world. He co-founded ThirtyFive Ventures with Rich Kleiman, which has invested in over 80 start-up companies including PostMates.

Kevin Durant has played for the Oklahoma City Thunder, Golden State Warriors, Brooklyn Nets, and Phoenix Suns during his illustrious NBA career. Durant began making more than $20 million per year during the 2015-16 season with the Thunder. With an increase in the NBA’s salary cap, Durant’s salary has exponentially grown over the past few years. During this season, Kevin Durant reportedly made $44 million which contributed to his net worth. By the 2025-26 season, Durant is projected to make $54 million per year, according to experts. As Durant is still competing at a very high level, that number will likely increase even more once his current contract expires.

Kevin Durant first signed with Nike when he joined the NBA. He signed his first deal with the company for $60 million over seven years. After his MVP season in 2014, Durant re-signed with Nike on a reported ten-year $300 million deal. Kevin Durant has sixteen signature shoes with Nike and is probably the second most popular NBA player signed to Nike behind Lebron James. Durant currently makes $26 million per year from his Nike deal.

Durant’s Nike deal also guarantees him $50 million upon his retirement. Many companies such as Nike have begun awarding lifetime deals to their signature athletes, so Durant could be awarded even more money long after his NBA career ends. Despite this, Durant’s current deal with Nike runs out next year. It is very possible that he resigns from his deal with the company due to their seventeen-year relationship and success. However, regardless of where Durant signs, his shoe endorsement deal will likely grow even larger in the coming year.

Off-The-Court Investments

Kevin Durant owns one of the most wide-ranging investment portfolios of any NBA player. According to Forbes, the Phoenix Suns star has invested in over 80 companies through his firm ThirtyFive Ventures. Durant founded ThirtyFive Ventures with his agent/manager Rich Kleinman. In 2019, Durant reportedly made $35 million from off-the-court investments.

Durant owns small stakes in Postmates and the investment app Acorns. Durant is also involved in many sports-related ventures including an equity stake in the Overtime app. Along with this, Durant purchased a 5% stake in the Philadelphia Union of the MLS. Recent additions to ThirtyFive Ventures include OpenSea. Durant is also backing SeatGeek’s SPAC merger. Durant is also behind the media brand Boardroom and was a producer on “Two Distant Strangers,” which took home the Oscar for best live-action short film in 2021.

In addition to his investments, Durant also makes over $40 million from sponsors. Durant landed a sponsorship deal with Gatorade and other companies, as well. He also recently struck sponsorship deals with Coinbase, NBA Top Shot, and Weedmaps. In addition to this, Durant’s media company has production deals with Fox, ESPN, Apple, and Showtime.

Real Estate

Along with his basketball salary, endorsements, and investments, Durant has also owned tons of real estate across the country during his time in the NBA. Durant reportedly owns a number of properties in the Oklahoma City area due to his time with the Thunder. In 2013, Durant listed his house in the upper-class Club Villa neighborhood in Oklahoma City for $1.95 million, though he later slashed the price and sold the property for $1.1 million.

In 2018, he spent around $12 million on a beach-front home in Malibu, California. By June of the next year, Durant sold the home for $12.15 million dollars. The buyer of Durant’s Malibu mansion was Anthony Zuiker, who is the creator of the CSI television franchise. In July 2021, Durant purchased a $15.6 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California. Many celebrities own property in the same neighborhood including Madonna, the Kardashians, Drake (who sold his property in 2022), and John Stamos.

Durant’s Monetary Future

Durant has the potential to increase his net worth significantly over the next decade. Along with an increase in his NBA contract, Durant is poised to sign a new shoe deal and continue building his investment portfolio. While the basketball superstar’s NBA career could end in the next ten years, it seems that through investments and endorsements, Durant will continue his financial success.

The Nike Air Foamposite One is one of the more polarizing creations from Nike. Overall, it is still a very cool shoe that will always remain unique within the Nike library. It is a shoe that was first popularized by none other than Penny Hardaway back in the 90s. Subsequently, it became a huge sneaker on the East Coast. Although, in recent years, it hasn’t had the same luster it used to have. Much of this is due to a lack of great releases. After all, the best Foamposite release of the last decade set the bar extremely high.

Nike Air Force 1 Low Split Brings The Hornets Vibes

April 12, 2023 by newhiphopnews

One of the greatest sneakers out on the market would have to be the Nike Air Force 1 Low. For decades, this has been one of the premier sneakers on the market. Overall, the shoe has been kicking it for over 40 years at this point. However, it has yet to actually get old. This is a testament to the simplicity of the silhouette. It also just goes to show that there is still a lot you can do with a sneaker like this. Even if the shoe might be old, Nike still finds ways to spruce things up a bit.

One of the examples of this is the Nike Air Force 1 Low Split. The premise of this shoe is actually quite simple. Essentially, the Nike swoosh is split into two parts on the side. Moreover, the swoosh on the medial side is not the same as the swoosh on the main side. This leads to some very interesting colorways that fans have already been able to cop on the market. Subsequently, we are now getting official images for a whole host of other great shoes. For instance, this vibrant blue model is next up on the docket.

A New Nike Air Force 1 Low

As soon as you look at this shoe, you get some Charlotte Hornets vibes. This is thanks to the fact that the shoe bears the same colors as the Hornets’ uniforms. Firstly, we get a white leather base, with the white appearing on the toe box and side panels. Secondly, we get a nice shade of blue on the overlays. From there, purple appears on the Nike swoosh with some blue showing up on the back half. Lastly, the outsole is a mix of purple at the front half and blue at the back.

If you want to grab these, they will be dropping soon for a price of $130 USD. For those who like the Air Force 1 Low but want something a bit different, these are absolutely perfect. Let us know what you think, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the sneaker world.

Caitlyn Jenner Blasts Nike For Using Trans TikToker Dylan Mulvaney As Brand Promoter

April 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Caitlyn Jenner just slammed Nike for bringing on trans TikTok star Dylan Mulvaney as a brand partner. Moreover, she took to Twitter to express her critiques and her “outrage” over the social media influencer promoting the brand’s sports bras. Mulvaney posted a series of videos and photos modeling Nike’s products on her socials. While she hasn’t undergone gender reassignment surgery yet, she identifies as a woman and uses she/they pronouns. In the past, Jenner’s been vocal about her opposition to trans females competing in female sports. With her latest series of tweets, however, she admitted to engaging in similar practices.

“As someone that grew up in awe of what [former Nike CEO and foudner] Phil Knight did, it is a shame to see such an iconic American company go so woke!” she tweeted. “We can be inclusive but not at the expense of the mass majority of people, and have some decency while being inclusive. This is an outrage. A little context…I did a collab with H&M (I have done many athletic brand collabs over the years as a successful athlete). I don’t blame Dylan (smart move).

Caitlyn Jenner Slams Nike

“I did not like how Nike treated Allyson Felix when she became pregnant,” she continued. “I spoke on the outrage of disparity in their pay. EQUALITY > INCLUSIVITY (STOP TRYING TO ERASE WOMEN). The differences between men and women are real and are a good thing! It doesn’t make trans ppl a bad thing, either. Why is it so black and white with the RADICAL RAINBOW MAFIA?!”

However, Nike doubled down on their decision in a statement, saying they’d delete online comments engaging in bigoted rhetoric. “You are an essential component to the success of your community. We welcome comments that contribute to a positive and constructive discussion. Be kind. Be inclusive. Encourage each other. Hate speech, bullying, or other behaviors that are not in the spirit of a diverse and inclusive community will be deleted.” While different sides give their takes, people clearly find this to be a much more complicated issue than it may seem at face value- no matter what side they’re on. Regardless, stick around on HNHH for the latest big updates on Caitlyn Jenner.

We currently nearing the end of Women’s History Month. Overall, this is a time to celebrate women and all of the things they do for us. Moreover, it is also a time to reflect on the amazing progress we have made when it comes to women’s empowerment. In more fields than ever before, there is an abundance of strong women who are taking on leadership roles. Additionally, in hobbies that have typically been dominated by men, we are seeing more women enter those spaces. This is especially true with sneakers. In fact, sneaker companies are creating more and more women’s exclusive colorways to keep up with the demand. Moreover, more and more women are being included in the sneaker industry as a whole.

StockX: The Top Trending Sneakers In 2023

March 17, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Sneakers will continue to reign supreme in 2023, and StockX is the go-to online store for sneakerheads looking to stay on top of the latest trends.

With an extensive collection of rare and exclusive sneakers from top brands like Nike, Adidas, and Jordan, StockX has become a household name among sneaker enthusiasts.

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the top trending sneakers of 2023 on StockX and why they’re a must-have for any sneakerhead’s collection.

So, if you’re looking to stay ahead of the game and rock the latest kicks, Let’s delve deeper into the sneakers that we should be watching out for in 2023 on StockX.

Salomon XT-6

Salomon had a fantastic year in 2022 with well-executed collaborations and sneakers that helped lead the ongoing gorp-core trend.

The Salomon XT-6 was one of the top sneakers of last year due to its versatile utilitarian functionality and sleek shape. Its bungee-cord lacing system and range of bright and vibrant colorways add to its appeal.

We can expect other silhouettes like their XT-4, ACS-Pro, and XT-Wings 2 to become more prevalent too, keeping the hype for Salomon alive in the new year on StockX.

Reebok Club C

In March of 2022, Authentic Brands Group acquired Reebok from Adidas, and since then, Reebok has started to make a name for itself within the streetwear fashion world.

Collaborative drops from Nicole McLaughlin, Tyrell Winston, JJJJound, and Maison Margiela helped revitalize the brand.

As silhouettes like the Club C and Workout Plus become more popular within current trends, we can expect Reebok to revive other older silhouettes in their catalog. Keep an eye out for these on StockX.

Air Jordan 3

Pre-aged sneakers are nothing new, but Jordan Brand’s take on the trend is something special. In 2022 and 2021, people were DIY-ing their sneakers to give them a vintage look. Jordan Brand is following suit, bringing new life to some of its older and more notable colorways.

The Air Jordan 3 White Cement, which hasn’t had a true OG retro treatment since 2013’s AJ3 White Cement ’88, adds to the ongoing trend for the Jordan Brand with its yellowed accents on the heel and midsole of the sneaker. This sneaker is surely one of the top brands in 2023 on StockX.

With full Nike Air treatment on the heel tab and smooth tumbled leather uppers, it’s a reimagining of the classic sneaker and something to look forward to in the coming months.

New Balance 990v6

New Balance is a brand that continues to produce high-quality products that are both innovative and attractive, and their latest 990v6 is no exception.

The 990v6 is the newest member of New Balance’s ongoing 990 series, delivering its signature mesh and suede concoction in a sleeker, more inlined package. Since its introduction in late 2022, we can expect to see more in store for it on StockX.

The collaboration with cook-turned-rapper-turned-gym aficionado Action Bronson on the 990v6, and with other musical talents like Aminé and Jack Harlow on NB’s roster, more love for the 990v6 will surely hit the market. Keep an eye out for this trending sneaker on StockX in 2023.
