Kevin Durant Remembers His Beloved Aunt Pearl In New Nike KD 10

Basketball star Kevin Durant continues his Nike collaboration with a special pair of sneakers inspired by his late Aunt Pearl, who always encouraged him to follow his dreams when he was growing up.

The Nike KD 10 “Aunt Pearl” has a gorgeously textured baby-pink aesthetic, with luxurious velvet overlays wrapping around the heel. Central to the design are the angel wings on the heel unit – picking up on Durant's massive back tattoo – and the discreet red breast cancer ribbon on the underside of the tongue. There's no doubt that this thoughtful pair would make a sweet memento for someone dear.

The Nike KD 10 “Aunt Pearl” drops on February 28 for $150 at Nike Basketball retailers.
