KD 8?!

I love me some shoes. Especially basketball shoes. And recently the new KD 8 (Kevin Durant's 8th shoe) photos have come out and they look just perfect for me. 
Comfy? Check. Nike Zoom Air is my favorite and this is also combined with a Nike air bubble. These will probably feel like pillows on your feet. 
Traction? Check. They feature basically the same traction pattern as the KobeX and the Kobe's are noted as having one of the best traction patterns of all time.
Looks? Check. These things are straight fire. And while they look like Air Max 2015's that's why I think they'll be great. They are just the perfect ankle height and look very sleek with the flywire and look like they can possibly make some sweet patterns with that material that looks like flyknit or mesh. My reaction to these at the beginning was, "Gosh those look pretty weird for basketball shoes", but now that I've seen them for awhile, I realize that they are basically all my favorite shows into one. But I also want to talk about how these shoes got leaked. I think this is also another example of how powerful our media is. Before there was all this internet and such, you had to wait until the show unveiling to see what the shoe would look like, now the whole sneaker community can be collected and once one person gets a picture of something it spreads like a wildfire. Overall I think the shoes are sweet and just think it's crazy how much power media has on our lives and how closely connected things are nowadays. See you next time tho!

  1. Wow dude these shoes are amazing! I'm not of a sneaker-head myself, but these shoes make me want to become one! The color scheme is flawless, and it would be awesome to wear shoes that the great Kevin Durant helped create.
