A strap is something that we’ve seen fairly commonly on a bunch of basketball shoes throughout the history of sneakers.
But the strap on Kevin Durant’s brand new KD 14 is more than a strap — it’s history.
Nike took Kevin Durant’s signature basketball line back to the roots that made it a hit with people in the first place. And they did it with the strap — a simple design concept.
The strap was a prominent feature on both the KD 4 and the KD 7 which are both widely considered two of the best models on Durant’s signature line.
Sykes unboxes the 14 on the latest episode of Special Delivery in the video above. The crew explores the history of the strap and explains why this shoe is more of a milestone for Kevin Durant than a signature sneaker.
Enjoy.
