The Nike KD 16 'Slim Reaper' gets its moniker from Kevin Durant's nickname, which the reference's the NBA athlete's slight build and deadly shooting ability. The upper combines ventilated red mesh, covered in black tiger stripes, with a black nubuck overlay and a chrome-plated support wing on the medial and lateral side. A jeweled KD logo adorns the tongue, while a metallic silver 'Slim Reaper' emblem graces the back heel. Performance benefits include a full-length foam midsole, featuring a rearfoot Air Strobel unit and a bottom-loaded Zoom Air unit in the forefoot.
