Nike KD 4 "Aunt Pearl" Returns in 2024 to Honor Kevin Durant’s Late Aunt

Throughout his career, Kevin Durant has paid tribute to his late Aunt Pearl, who passed away from lung cancer in 2001. The signature pink colorway, symbolizing solidarity in the fight against cancer, has been a staple in several of Durant’s signature sneakers, including the KD 3, KD 14, and KD 16.

This fall, the highly anticipated Nike KD 4 "Aunt Pearl" is set to make a comeback. The design remains true to its original form, featuring the iconic pink hue with bold black Nike Swooshes on the ankle straps. Adding a unique touch, the sneakers are adorned with decorative pearl motifs on the ankles and tongues.

Durant’s personal insignia, alongside a special logo honoring both Aunt Pearl and the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, is prominently displayed on the tongues. Inside the strap, you’ll find a heartfelt message, adding even more meaning to this special edition.
