So much for that grace period of awkwardness that was supposed to happen between the Golden State Warriors and Kevin Durant to start the season. The team sits comfortably at 8-2 and KD is putting up his usual astounding numbers in the form of nearly 28 points and 8 rebounds a game. But even though his new uniform colors are royal and yellow, we’re seeing quite a bit of red in the Nike KD 9 release slate.
You may remember the Nike KD 9 “University Red” that dropped back in early October. The shoe managed to give off a traditional “Bred” look thanks to interwoven black and red Flyknit throughout for a simple, yet head-turning early look at the model. The latest KD 9 Red White offering takes a simpler approach that almost looks like it could be a ‘Team’ takedown of the model given the simple monochromatic red Flyknit matching the midsole while stark white Swoosh branding matches the bottom. It’s the kind of look you’d find alongside other primary colorways in Eastbay catalogs for the High School and College seasons. What do you think of the Nike KD 9 Red White option?

Update: The KD 9 “University Red” is available now.
