The KD 8 has taken somewhat of a backseat recently, thanks to all the buzz surrounding the Elite version and KD 9, but Nike is still pumping out colorways of Kevin Durant's current sneaker model. The latest colorway to emerge uses a sabertooth tiger theme, and comes dressed in orange, black, and light brown.

Aside from Durant being a beast on the court, this theme also looks to take inspiration from the tattoo featured on his right leg. Given how closely past Nike KD colorways have been tied to Durant's interests and background, it comes as no surprise to see a sneaker inspired by some of his ink.

US11 reports that this sneaker will release on March 31.
