One of the most coveted releases from Kevin Durant’s Nike signature line is reportedly returning to retailers next year. Per Sneaker Files and @zSneakerheadz on Instagram, the "Nerf" Nike KD 4 is coming back in Fall 2024.
The "Nerf" Nike KD 4 was originally released in 2011 and was designed in collaboration with Hasbro's toy brand Nerf. The style itself was modeled after Nerf's iconic miniature basketball hoop as a nod to one of Durant's childhood pastimes. The sneaker was available in limited quantities, and its special packaging also came with a makeshift hoop.
There are no leaked images of the purported Nike KD 4 "Nerf" retro at the time of writing, but the original version featured a predominantly blue upper that's constrasted by a grey heel counter, a multicolored midfoot strap, and vibrant neon accents. There's also "Nerf" branding stamped on the right tongue.
The "Nerf" Nike KD 4 regularly fetched around $1,500 on the secondary marketplace and at its peak, the shoe sold for over $2,500 on StockX.
As of now, the "Nerf" Nike KD 4 retro is slated to launch sometime in Fall 2024. Check back soon for updates.
UPDATE (04/19): Official images of this year's "Nerf" KD 4 retro have emerged. According to @zSneakerheadz on Instagram, the sneaker is expected to return to stores sometime this summer.
