UPDATE: The KD III road colorway is available in the Nike Store NOW!
KD was back last night after missing two games due to a mild ankle injury. In his return he not only dropped 28 points on the T-Wolves, but also debuted his new Nike Zoom KD III shoes. Here’s a first look at the shoes (road colorway). More news and information on release dates and colorways coming very soon.
To commemorate Kevin Durant’s historic accomplishment as the youngest scoring champion in the history of the NBA, Nike is releasing the Nike Zoom KD Scoring Title Edition.
On Monday, June 28, a very limited number of pairs of the Zoom KD II Scoring Title Edition will be released at Niketown Chicago, as well as House of Hoops locations in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, and Dallas. On the 28th KD will also be making an appearance in-store at the Chicago Niketown at 2:30 PM.
This shoe features Kevin’s point totals from the season on the collar lining, as well as a badge on the tongue that references his friends and teammates, The Broingtons, as well as Kevin’s “Pure Committment.” The sockliner includes another call-out to The Broingtons, a pennant that alludes to Kevin’s appearance in the NBA All-Star Game in February 2010, and two horses that represent his two H.O.R.S.E competition wins.
KD is currently touring China with Nike Basketball. As part of the tour, Nike has released a special colorway of KD’s immensely popular Zoom KD II sneaker in China. The shoe honors Tsinghua High School for winning its third consecutive Chinese National Championship in basketball. Only 100 pairs were released in China, so this is truly a special edition and a fitting tribute to the Tsinghua High School squad.
As part of KD’s quest to make KevinDurant35.com a true home for his fans, we have been requesting fans send in photos of themselves with Kevin’s Jersey and with his Zoom KD II sneakers. The photos are featured on the site’s “sightings” gallery found on the side of this blog (you can also visit them here and here). One photo sent in to us features rapper Snoop Dogg wearing Kevin’s #35 Thunder jersey. The fact that Snoop was wearing a KD Jersey is pretty big deal because Snoop is a big time Lakers fan.
Another cool sightings photo was sent in by fan named David Patton. In the photo, David is kneeling in front of his 1962 Mini Cooper S vintage race car wearing his Nike Zoom KD II sneakers.
If you want to submit a KD Jersey sighting or a Zoom KD II sighting, you can send it to KD35sightings [at] gmail.com.

We all know that Kevin Durant is gaining tons of fans by the day with the spectacular breakout season he just completed. However, some fans were already diehards. Take Ben Brown, a big longhorn fan, that has watched every college and NBA game that KD has ever played in. He also is trying to pull off something spectacular by owning a pair of every single colorway of KD signature shoes and PE’s that has been released by Nike. Here’s his story:
When I was young I always wanted Air Jordans or any Nike shoes, but wasn’t able to afford them. I always admired the guys with huge collections of Jordans mainly the guys that had every pair released. Being a diehard Longhorn fan and living in Austin I’ve watched every college game and NBA game KD has played in. When KD came to Texas I was pretty sure when this guy got into the NBA he was getting a signature shoe. At that point to told myself that my goal was to get every shoe and colorway he released mainly because he is and always will be a Texas Longhorn. I don’t have them all but I will continue to look everywhere I can to add the missing ones to my collection. It does help that KD and Nike made these affordable for the regular guy to collect.

Good luck to Ben on collecting every single KD shoe and colorway. From the looks of his photo, it seems he’s already well on his way there. And remember, you can pick up a pair of the current Kevin Durant signature shoe, the Zoom KD II by clicking HERE.
The Oklahoma City Thunder are in the playoffs for the first time in franchise history. Many of KD’s Thunder teammates have been wearing the Zoom KD II throughout the regular season. Now many of them have started wearing special playoff colorways of the Zoom KD II for their match up against the Los Angeles Lakers. Here’s a look at some of the colorways KD and his Thunder teammates will wear throughout the playoffs.

Here’s what David had to say about the shoe:
“I luv your KD II’s. I had to grab this colorway as soon as it got released online. Great shoes and love how symbolic the shoes are to you. I’d do the same if I could create my own product line.”

Basketball fans around the country have raved about the new Zoom KD II. Here’s a message we received from a High School basketball player named Josh.
Here is a pic of me wearing the new KD II’s. I was really happy that they were not as expensive as some other shoes (Ex:LeBron’s new kicks are $160 which is way to much). Also, I just had basketball practice yesterday and loved how they are on the court.
If you’re like Josh and have a pair of KD II’s, send a pic of yourself wearing or holding the shoes and we’ll feature them in the KD II sightings section of the site. And if you don’t have a pair, you can pick some up here. You can submit your KD II sightings photos to photos to KD35Sightings [at] gmail.com.
