Nike KD 18 “Immortalized” Celebrates Durant’s Olympic Greatness

 

Nike is honoring Kevin Durant’s legendary Olympic performance with a new sneaker called the Nike KD 18 “Immortalized.” This special edition is inspired by Team USA’s colors and Durant’s gold medal wins, blending style, performance, and meaning.

The upper features a deep “Blue Void” mesh base for breathability, layered with “Metallic Gold” overlays to represent victory. Splashes of “University Red” appear on the Nike Swoosh, Jumpman logo, and molded sidewalls, giving the shoe a bold, patriotic look.

Special details make this sneaker a true tribute. The word “EASY” is stamped on the heel — a nod to KD’s nickname — and inside, the insole showcases a graphic of the Victory of Samothrace, an iconic symbol of triumph.

Performance-wise, the KD 18 “Immortalized” is ready for serious play. It’s built with a full-length Zoom Air Strobel unit that gives great bounce and responsiveness. The metallic overlays and molded side panels add extra support without making the shoe heavy or stiff. A translucent blue outsole with a bubble-like pattern provides strong grip for quick cuts and moves on the court.

Whether you're a Durant fan, a sneaker collector, or a player looking for elite-level shoes, the KD 18 “Immortalized” delivers on all fronts — performance, tribute, and style.
