Nike continues its KD 8 storytelling through colorways with the latest version inspired by Kevin Durant's nickname "Easy Money Sniper." Doubling as his Twitter handle, this nickname comes from Durant's dominance on the court coming easy to him. With this colorway, Nike took inspiration from European currency by naming this sneaker "Easy Euro." Ebay user sneakerfreak5852 has a pair listed for sale that gives us a full look of this upcoming release.

This sneaker uses a combination of Squadron Green, Alligator, and hints of orange on the upper, while going with a Lunar Grey midsole and Bright-Citrus on the outsole. Durant fans will be happy to know that despite its European name and inspiration, it will be dropping in the states.

This sneaker will release on Oct. 17 for $180, at Nike.com.
