The Nike KD 17 “Aunt Pearl” continues Kevin Durant’s heartfelt tradition of honoring his late aunt with a meaningful sneaker design. This all-pink edition of the KD 17 represents not only Durant’s beloved aunt, who passed away from lung cancer, but also his ongoing support for cancer research.
The KD 17 “Aunt Pearl” features a soft Pink Foam upper that creates a soothing aesthetic. Complementing this base, darker Beyond Pink accents highlight the Swoosh, midsole, and outsole, adding depth and contrast. One of the standout details of the design is the embroidered pearl pattern on the heel, symbolizing Aunt Pearl’s grace and resilience. Further personalizing the sneaker, Durant’s aunt’s initials are embroidered on the left shoe in the signature KD typeface.
Adding to its significance, this sneaker is not only a tribute but also a contribution to a greater cause. As with previous models in the “Aunt Pearl” series, a portion of the proceeds will support the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, which raises awareness and funds for cancer research. The thoughtful design and charitable element make this release a standout in Durant’s signature line.
