Recognizing the high fashion crossover appeal of basketball sneakers, Nike regularly re-creates some of its best hoop shoes into lux versions. The latest to get an EXT model is the Nike KD8, with this clean woven upper.

The Nike KD8 getting an EXT version makes perfect sense, considering Kevin Durant's interest in fashion. This colorway dresses Durant's latest signature sneaker with an all-black woven upper, and red and gum sole. We probably won't see Durant lace these up for a game, but we wouldn't be surprised to see him wear them out.
