**UPDATE** Nikestore twitter now confirms this release is pushed back until June.
When news of a mysterious “N7” colorway of the popular KD IV popped up on Nikestore twitter yesterday, many people thought this might be an April Fools ruse, as the release is right around the corner and no pics existed of this colorway. Nikestore twitter just released some official pics, and although they seem a tad disappointing, they do seem to confirm this shoe is indeed real and not a prank. 
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.
