Kevin Durant‘s signature line hits a milestone with the Nike KD 17 “Easy Money Sniper,” a silhouette that perfectly embodies KD’s lethal efficiency on court. The nickname isn’t just clever wordplay – it’s Durant’s alter ego that perfectly captures his ruthless scoring ability and that butter-smooth jumper that’s been terrorizing defences for years.

The KD 17 arrives as a testament to evolution, marking 17 years of Durant’s partnership with Nike Basketball. From the streamlined KD 4 that kickstarted the line’s golden era to the boundary-pushing KD 15, each iteration has reflected Durant’s game – and this latest chapter might be the most sophisticated yet. The “Easy Money Sniper” colorway plays in tones of green and black, punctuated with subtle red accents that nod to the currency theme – because let’s be real, KD’s been cashing in on and off the court.

Technically speaking, the 17 is a masterclass in modern basketball engineering. The full-length Air Zoom Strobel unit (a technology that debuted in the KD 12) returns, now paired with an additional forefoot Zoom unit for that extra bounce. The upper combines engineered mesh with strategic reinforcement, creating a second-skin feel that’s both supportive and breathable.

Mark your calendars as the Nike KD 17 “Easy Money Sniper” will be released on October 21 via Nike.com and select retailers for $150. Keep it locked to Nice Kicks on Instagram and our Sneaker Release Dates Page to stay on top of the latest news and drops.
