Nike KD 18 "Soft Pearl" Drops Soon in a Clean, Fresh Look

 

Kevin Durant and Nike are getting ready to release a stylish new version of the KD 18, called the “Soft Pearl.” This latest sneaker keeps things fresh and simple with soft, light colors and thoughtful details.

The upper part of the shoe features a smooth cream-colored mesh, paired with light grey leather overlays that add structure and style. Reflective lines across the shoe make it pop, especially in the light. The design of the midfoot area is inspired by the Nike Terra Humara, giving it a sporty and modern vibe.

A cool detail is found inside the shoe — a heartbeat graphic on the insole, similar to what we saw on the “Liquid Lime” version. Finishing touches include shiny metallic silver accents on the heel and the Nike Swoosh.

The Nike KD 18 “Soft Pearl” will be available on May 1, 2025, for $150 USD through Nike and select retailers. It’s a great pick for fans of Durant or anyone looking for a clean, performance-ready sneaker with a stylish twist.
