Tonight is a big night for Kevin Durant and the whole Oklahoma City Thunder basketball team. With an NBA Finals spot on the line, you'd think we'd be focusing all our attention on stats of previous games and placing bets. Ha! We've decided to take things in a different direction and place our sartorial focus on the style of OKC's All-Star forward. Durant is known for rocking a backpack at EVERY post-game press conference. We think it's swag that dude is consistent, but he should probably consider all of his options.

With recent news about Nike offering the backpack as part of the Nike KD III line, we wanted to present Durant with a few awesome alternatives, just in case he wants to switch things up. Who knows what he's got in there (Nate Robinson, perhaps?), but take a look at the 10 Backpacks We Think Kevin Durant Should Rock.

Duluth

Duluth Deluxe Daypack
Buy It Now at Duluth, $155

Let's start this off with a heritage option. If the basketball thing falls off, Durant can fit in with the rest of the style bloggers of the world.

Incase

Incase Compact Alloy Backpack
Buy It Now at Incase, $100

In all seriousness if Durant is looking to upgrade his backpack game, Incase has tons of options. We tend to bang with this piece from its recent Alloy collection.

Supreme

Supreme Backpack
Buy It Now at Supreme, $148

Want to stand out at those press conferences? Supreme has you covered.

Y-3

Y-3 Backpack
Buy It Now at Y-3, $195

Sportswear x Stylish = Y-3

Rag & Bone

Rag & Bone Happy Jack Backpack
Buy It Now at Barneys, $250

This canvas flap-front backpack with adjustable buckle tabs looks like it would probably fit a basketball pretty well.

Durkl

Durkl x Ortlieb Messenger Backpack
Buy It Now at Durkl, $150

This collaborative backpack from Durkl is crazy, but awesome. Durant will add some swag points to his board with this one.

Head Porter

Head Porter XY One Shoukder
Buy It Now at Haven Shop, $385

This is a pretty big backpack with enough room to fit all of Kevin's essentials and more.

Penfield

Penfield Gill
Buy It Now at Penfield, $105

Utility at its best. This Penfield backpack and its clean design would look fresh with a three-piece suit or warm-ups.

Diesel

Diesel Ride Backpack
Buy It Now at Ssense, $240

We think Kevin should try the fashion-forward look — it worked with Amar'e. This textured leather backpack from Diesel would be a great start. Next, a tailored suit.
