After hooping in the Nike Air Blue Chip PE for most of the first half of the 2008-09 NBA season, Oklahoma City Thunder forward Kevin Durant finally laced up his first signature sneaker, the Nike KD1. Our Kicks On Court spotted Oklahoma City’s superstar sporting two different colorways of this sneaker in back-to-back games against the Houston Rockets and Chicago Bulls.

Coinciding with the jersey colors, the ‘Home’ colorway features a white leather upper with an orange swoosh on the outside of the shoe and a white swoosh on the inside. The inner side of the sneaker is completely covered in Oklahoma City Thunder orange. On the contrary, the ???Away??? sneaker features a black upper with an orange swoosh on the outside and an aqua blue swoosh on the other side. Both sneakers feature Durant???s initials, in yellow, on the ankle area. Nevertheless, we can categorize this as one of the few Oklahoma City Thunder wins of this season. Look for the Nike KD1 to hit retailers in February 2009.
