Kevin Durant’s wingspan has allowed him to reach beyond the game, employing his influential outreach to usher in a new wave of athletes such as Chet Holmgren while also dabbling in what keeps the wheels turning off the court. It’s no mystery that KD loves music; just two months ago, he was featured in Stalley “Scared Money” laying down some impressive verses, but he’s also allowed his Nike KD signature shoe line to spotlight some of his producers in the game.

For the Nike KD 17, that collaborative endeavor continues. We already saw the KD 17 “Bink”, an homage to the legendary beat-maker best known for his work with Roc-a-Fella Records. Now, The Alchemist, arguably one of the best producers today, gets the feature on Durant’ newest signature model via a purple and volt green colorway with Alan’s ALC Records logo on the tongue.

This KD 17 also features a pleasant base colory of Coconut Milk while the Atomic Violet and Hyper Grape accents appears in a gradient-like arrangement on the shoe’s upper (a nod to the Air Max 95, perhaps?).

The 2024 “Producer Pack” if the Nike KD 17 is expected to debut on June 14th, 2024, while the model itself will hit retail on May 17th in the “Sunrise” colorway.
