The "Aunt Pearl" colorway first appeared on the Nike KD 3, released in 2010 and worn by Kevin Durant en route to his second career All-Star selection. The all-pink colorway instantly became a hit when featured on the Nike KD 4 , setting the standard for a tradition that has led all the way to Durant's 18th signature model.
The Nike KD 18 has been releasing to the public in steady doses over the last few months, but as the scoring legend makes his debut for the Houston Rockets, we can expect to see many more colorways release as the season begins.

Arriving in its usual all-pink ensemble, this particular "Aunt Pearl" colorway opts for lighter shades of pink, contrasted by darker shades in the details. The majority of the shoe is done in a traditional pink hue, opting for a very light pink for the mesh underlayer. The speckled laces, Nike Swoosh, and midsole will all feature tiny hits of darker pink, matching the roses along the Terra Humara-inspired uppers.
