Kevin Durant’s next chapter in his storied career takes him to the state of Texas. As the newest member of the Houston Rockets, KD has some high expectations as the southern Texan city has a roster built to compete mightily for the 2026 NBA Finals stage. Here’s a peek at what Easy Money Sniper could be wearing during the earlier part of the season.
First up, Nike unveils the Nike KD 18 “Halloween” themed after the late-October holiday. It features an all-black upper with images of a skeletal hand, with each vestige lining up with the mid-foot overlay. Adding to the creepy themes is the glow-in-the-dark bottoms, a standard detail on Halloween-inspired Nike footwear. These are expected to drop this October.
Next up is the Nike KD 18 “International Blue”, a clear-cut nod to the original colorway of the Air Foamposite One. With Durant’s roots in the DMV area, this sneaker colorway is a tribute to the region’s historical influence to the shoe game.
The Nike KD 18 “Rise” and “Vivid Purple” are also expected this Fall/Holiday season. The “Rise” features an approach possibly inspired by the University of Texas, whereas the Vivid Purple could be a nod to the “Eggplant” colorway.
