Nike KD 8 Elite "Away" Colorway Official Images Released

The NBA playoffs are quickly approaching and multiple teams and players will be apart of the postseason action. Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder will just be one of the talented teams that will face off in the chance of becoming league champs. Kevin Durant is expected to go out in style with the debut of his new calf-high KD 8 Elite's.

The KD 8 Elite "Away" colorway is released as a complimentary to Durant's away uniform for the playoffs. However, this is a sneaker that is dressed in a black/gold color scheme that looks really good on this model. The shoe has a nice rubber material and breathable material that allows for maximum success. The KD 8 Elite will offer superior support and comfort than almost any other shoe model of KD's, however, his 7's didn't do a bad job at all either.

The sneaker features a white midsole and the outsole is a icy blue. The swoosh on the forefoot will be gold to compliment the almost all-black upper and sock-like liner.

The shoe will be released May 26 and retail $200.
