The Air-Sole debuted in the late ’70s with the original Tailwind, and each successive model in the series has furthered an evolution in Air cushioning and a revolution in aesthetic.
He masterfully pulls together a vision connecting the metamorphosis that butterflies undergo and the role of creative rebirth in his career. MaWith his fifth SK Air offering, London-born artist Skepta draws inspiration from the natural world to breath new life into a cult favorite Tailwind series. The KD14 Cyber colorway releases April 11 in Greater China only. The KD14 releases in the Black/White colorway starting April 10 around the globe, and April 14 in North America. The engineered mesh upper means that graphics can be uniquely layered for detailed colorway options, covering topics like art, music and more. The thin, elongated Swoosh is a nod to the original Bruin model. The design of the simplified one-piece midfoot strap, especially on the medial side, was inspired by the Nike Air Presto. The strap itself is a familiar sight, but the build is rich with Nike heritage. “My other favorite part about the shoe is the cushioning, which helps me feel low to the ground and still helps give me some of that energy back.” “It’s been a while since we incorporated the strap, which excites me,” says Durant. When Durant reaches back into the vault and resurrects a feature, like the strap, he knows the familiarity will serve him well when he takes the court. One constant in Durant's line has been his curiosity to explore a wide design filter from season to season, spanning sleek low-tops that resemble football boots, plush sock racers and ’90s-style power mids. ApReintroducing a strap to Kevin Durant’s signature line for the first time since the KD7, the KD14 combines a chill, sportswear-inspired vibe with a full-length Zoom Air Strobel set up for serious responsiveness.
