Nike Zoom KD12 EP ‘Aunt Pearl’

The Nike KD12 EP ‘Aunt Pearl’, released on December 27, 2019, continues a heartfelt tradition that began in 2012, honoring Kevin Durant’s late Aunt Pearl and supporting the Kay Yow Cancer Fund. The basketball shoe is predominantly dressed in various shades of pink, symbolizing breast cancer awareness. The design is a unique ‘What The’ style, incorporating graphics and details from previous ‘Aunt Pearl’ colorways of Kevin Durant’s signature line. Notable features include a pearl graphic on the collar foam (from the KD4), a distinctive sock liner graphic (from the KD5), a rose heel graphic (from the KD6), a winged midfoot strap (from the KD7), heel embroidery (from the KD9), and the material on the tongue, collar, and Swoosh (from the KD10), and outsole marbling (from the KD11). The upper appears primarily in pink, with some velvet elements. The shoe features a full-length Zoom Air cushioning system stitched directly to the upper for exceptional comfort and responsiveness. The outsole is marbled, adding to its unique aesthetic, and is designed specifically for outdoor play.

This special edition sneaker is ideal for basketball players seeking advanced cushioning and support, as well as dedicated collectors and fans who appreciate a shoe with a powerful and meaningful story. Its vibrant pink colorway and intricate details make it a standout piece, suitable for both on-court performance and stylish casual wear, serving as a symbol of hope and remembrance.
