The Nike KD 17 NRG “Aunt Pearl” (FZ1518-600) offers more than just performance on the court. It stands as a tribute to Kevin Durant’s late aunt, Pearl, who passed away from lung cancer in 2000. This special edition combines advanced basketball features with a meaningful design that raises awareness for a cause close to Durant’s heart.
Built for players who demand the best from their footwear, the KD 17 delivers exceptional responsiveness. A Zoom Air unit in the forefoot enhances quick acceleration and sharp changes of direction, ideal for fast-paced games. Paired with Nike Air cushioning, the shoe provides reliable comfort and support during full-court sprints and crucial defensive plays.
The “Aunt Pearl” edition is presented in a distinctive pink colourway, blending Pink Foam and Beyond Pink shades. This design honours Durant’s aunt while drawing attention to the ongoing fight against cancer. The thoughtful choice of colours serves as a symbol of resilience and determination, reflecting the effort required both on the court and in life’s challenges.
With its combination of high-performance features and a powerful message, the Nike KD 17 NRG “Aunt Pearl” serves as a reminder of the importance of perseverance and the drive to make a difference.
