Nike KD 12 "Aunt Pearl"
Nike KD 12 "Aunt Pearl"
Kevin Durant shared a special bond with his late Aunt Pearl, who passed away from lung cancer in 2000. Beginning with the KD4 in 2012, Durant remembered Pearl’s influence in his life by teaming up with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund to create a pink colorway in Aunt Pearl’s name; it's now an annual tradition in the line. The shoes are further immortalized by pulling details from earlier KD Aunt Pearl colorways and incorporating them into the next iteration. Here are the inspirations behind the details of the KD12 Aunt Pearl:
The pearl graphic on the collar foam is drawn from the KD4
The sock liner graphic is from the KD5
The medial heel graphic is from the KD6
The strap is from the KD7
The lateral heel graphic is from the KD8
The heel embroidery is from the KD9
The material on the tongue, collar and Nike Swoosh is from the KD10
The outsole marbling is from the KD11
