Kevin Durant is offically with Nike for the long run, having spurned Under Armour’s contractual advances in favor of re-signing with the Swoosh for at least the next ten years. That being said, his next signature shoe release couldn’t be more fitting. The Nike KD7 Easy Money release date is slated for Wednesday, September 10, at US retailers.
In keeping with the trend of all the initial KD7 colorways, the “Easy Money” is inspired by the weather to a certain degree. I’ll let Nike explain:
Inventor and statesman Ben Franklin used a metal key and a kite to prove that lightning was really a stream of electrified air. Franklin’s famous stormy kite experiment in June 1752 revolutionized what we now know about the power of lightning and electricity. As an ode to Franklin’s fascination with weather and his prominence on the US$100 bill, the ‘Easy Money’ colorway features green hues and graphics from the ‘Benjamin’ bill – a tribute to KD’s nickname, Easy Money.
Grab a pair on September 10 at select Nike Basketball accounts, including online retailers at noon EDT/9am PDT. Here’s the FootLocker.com purchase link.
A similarly styled pair of Nike Elite Basketball Crew Socks will launch the same day, retailing for $30.
