The KDIV propelled Durant’s signature sneaker light years ahead of the KD3. Durant won’t allow his shoe to sell for more than $100, and in the days of $160 Lebrons and $140 Kobes, designing a $95 shoe while maintaining NIKE’s commitment to quality was a tall task. Solecollector recently did a feature with Leo Change, designer of the KDIV. The article game some insight into the design of the KDIV and a look into the shoe’s background and development, from sketchbook concept to court. The feature also gave us a hidden gem, a photo that appears it could be a “Creamsicle” edition of the KDIV.
Although the coloration is slightly subdued compared to past years’ “Creamsicle”releases, this shoe undoubtably bears striking similarity with those editions. First spotted in the KDII, the “Creamsicle” has been a favorite colorway of Durant fans and a KDIV “Creamsicle” doesn’t seem too far fetched.
