Kevin Durant sneaker fans will have another reason to celebrate in 2027. The Nike KD 5 Elite is expected to return next summer, bringing back two eye-catching colorways: the “EYBL” and “DMV.”
Originally released in 2013, the KD 5 Elite represented a special postseason edition of Durant’s fifth signature sneaker. The Elite version featured a redesigned low-top build, carbon fiber components and a different cushioning setup from the standard KD 5.
The upcoming retro will reportedly arrive in two colorways, with both pairs carrying a $190 retail price.
