Nike KD 8 ‘Hunt’s Hill Night’ Release Date, Price, Where To Buy & Video Promo [Pics]
Nike is expected to make headlines again, as they are set to release a new colorway of the latest signature shoe of Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant.
The KD 8, which is one of the best-selling sneaker models on the market over the past several months, will be released in what is dubbed as the "Hunt's Hill Night" edition.
The KD 8 "Hunt's Hill Night" edition, which is officially listed as the Night Silver/Deep Pewter-Tumbled Grey-Green Glow colorway of the shoe, was reportedly inspired by Durant's night workout before he became one of the best basketball players in the world.
"Even though it was dark and he'd just put in 8+ hours on the court, young KD knew that Hunt's Hill was the only way to finish his day," Nike wrote on the official product page. "After taking on the 75ft incline 25 times, KD went home for dinner hungry, and knowing full well he wanted nothing more than to do it all again once the sun rose."
According to Sneakernews, the Hunt's Hill steep played a big role in Durant's development as a player. Running up and down regularly on the steep road improved Durant's stamina as a youngster.
Nike, who has made sure that every colorway of Durant's signature shoes has a story related to the former Most Valuable Player's life, reportedly got the idea last year.
During his MVP speech last year, Durant mentioned how the regular sprints he did before made him a better player and how it pushed him to become one of the best players in the world. Earlier this year, Nike also released the "Hunt's Hill Sunrise" edition, which was inspired by Durant morning workouts.
The new KD 8 "Hunt's Hill Sunrise" edition, which sports a grey-based upper part with black laces and Nike Swoosh, will arrive at retailers on Wednesday. It will be available for $180 per pair on Nike.com and selected retailers worldwide.
