Nike KD 8 'Hunt's Hill Night' Release Date, Pics and Retail Price
Now a juggernaut of the sneaker game, Kevin Durant's Nike KD 8 "Hunt's Hill Night" calls back to his early years as it takes the kicks game by storm Wednesday.
Durant's offerings continue to provide a casual look with perfect colorways, complete with strong performance on the court for good measure.
This one will do nothing short of continuing the trend.
Here's a look at the release details, per Nike:
| Wednesday, September 2 | $180 |
XXL Magazine provided a look at the kicks:
Any shoe sporting the color names "Night Silver," "Deep Pewter," "Tumbled Grey" and "Green Glow" deserves attention.
A single glance shows that Durant's latest sets the bar for how to make such a mixture work.
The Sole Supplier took a look at the shoes out in the wild:
The familiar trappings of the KD 8 are there: The dark top meshes well with the lighter bottom, the logos on the tongue stick out as intended and the fabric design surrounding the swoosh is hard to miss.
From a top-down perspective, per Sneaker Bar Detroit, the green invades the interior well, too:
That goes for the bottom and its innovative design as well:
To top it all off, the story surrounding the shoe's origins brings it all together, per Nike:
"Even though it was dark and he’d just put in 8+ hours on the court, young KD knew that Hunt’s Hill was the only way to finish his day. After taking on the 75ft incline 25 times, KD went home for dinner hungry, and knowing full well he wanted nothing more than to do it all again once the sun rose.
"
There's nothing better for a high-profile release than a suitable backstory that brings the wearers closer to the superstar.
This iteration has it, with a perfect design to boot. Smack in the middle of a week featuring releases from LeBron James and others, Durant's shoe might emerge as the king, all things considered.
Sneakerheads can add the Nike KD 8 "Hunt's Hill Night" to their collections Wednesday.
