The KD 8 Elite is positioned as Kevin Durant’s postseason shoe, but he’s not the only dominant hooper that’s lacing it up this spring. The UConn women, perennially the defending national champions, are not only wearing the shoe during the women’s NCAA Tournament, they’re wearing their own PE.
The Nike KD 8 Elite UConn PE sports clean, crisp white through the ultra-hightop silhouette, stretching from the traditional upper into the ankle-bootie. Navy then adds a bit of contrast to the branding and midsole, rounding out the official school palette, while red in the full-length Zoom Air unit adds a touch of color. Officially calling out the school spirit angle, Connecticut’s Huskie logo appears on either heel.
It’s a perfect look on the KD 8 Elite. The model’s already starkly conspicuous in its unconventionality, so eye-catching colors aren’t needed; keep it simple, and let the distinctive design and school elements speak for themselves. Take a closer look at the Nike KD 8 Elite UConn PE below and on-court the next time the Huskies tip-off. Alas, no public release is expected.
