Description
The Swoosh is celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop with a special edition of the KD15, the signature shoe of NBA superstar Kevin Durant. The Nike KD 15 50 Years of Hip Hop shoes are a homage to the music genre that was born in August 1973, when DJ Kool Herc mixed tracks and provided spoken words at his sister’s graduation party in the Bronx. Hip-hop has since evolved into a global phenomenon that influences fashion, art, and culture.
The shoes feature a black and off-white color scheme that contrasts the mesh and leather upper with a crinkled sail midsole and outsole. The shoes also have some unique details that pay tribute to the hip-hop culture, such as 50 Years of Hip-Hop labels on the tongue, which acknowledge the milestone of the genre and its impact on society.
Furthermore, the ‘Easy Money’ branding on the leather heel pull tabs and on the insoles, is a reference to Durant’s nickname and his love for music. Durant is a huge fan of hip-hop and has a Tupac tattoo on his left leg.
The shoe has a gold metallic microphone hangtag, which symbolizes the voice and expression of hip-hop artists and their influence on generations.
