Nike KD 16 "Slim Reaper" DV2917-004

The Nike KD 16 “Slim Reaper” DV2917-004 is specifically engineered for basketball players who prioritise agility and stability during play. Featuring a combination of Nike Air and Zoom Air cushioning, this trainer supports dynamic movements and provides a responsive feel, ideal for prolonged periods on the court. Compared to its predecessor, the KD 16 offers a slimmer upper and reduced overall weight, enhancing the player’s capacity for extended play without sacrificing performance.

The design emphasises cushioning and comfort, with a strategically placed lightweight Nike Air unit at the base of the upper for necessary support throughout a demanding season. Inspired by the success of the KD 15, the KD 16 introduces a bottom-loaded forefoot Zoom Air unit for increased responsiveness and energy return at high speeds, coupled with responsive full-length foam for a plush underfoot sensation.

The sole features grooves and ridges for superior multi-directional traction and improved court feel. Stability is enhanced by a stiff piece under the arch, facilitating efficient transitions. The upper is made from multi-layer mesh, providing a lightweight and breathable fit with a pre-worn comfort, while added thickness in key areas ensures a secure fit, reducing in-shoe movement.

The outsole’s design, echoing watch gears, reflects Kevin Durant’s precise and methodical playstyle. Presented in a Black/Bright Crimson/Thunder Blue/Metallic Silver colourway, the Nike KD 16 “Slim Reaper” meets the needs of basketball players seeking trainers that blend cutting-edge technology with functional features for enhanced game performance.
