The Nike KD 19 “Bright Ceramic” will release in Summer 2026, introducing Kevin Durant’s nineteenth signature sneaker with Nike Basketball.
Durant’s collection has historically pushed for speed and mobility with his low-top constructions, and the KD 19 is no exception. However, this latest iteration gets revamped with design cues from performance-heavy silhouettes in the early 2000s, such as the Nike Hyperflight and Ultraflight. The clean lines, zig-zagging panels, and simplified body create a new-wave feel on Durant’s nineteenth sneaker. Also look for a subtle yet noticeable lateral Swoosh by the toe for a modern addition.
The launch “Bright Ceramic” edition combines shades of Orange with University Gold and hints of Stadium Green for a bold take. Other colorways will include Gorge Green, Photo Blue, Field Purple, University Red, and Hyper Pink. With the futuristic sharp angles and fresh nods to the past, the KD 19 seems to find a nice balance between both worlds.
Nike also has a NOCTA x KD 19 collaboration with clothing planned out as well, providing even more storytelling to the newest Durant model. Apparel features graphics and references to Durant’s high school days with the Montrose Christian High School basketball team and other nods to Durant’s life, including a graphic print based on Durant’s former MySpace profile picture to further illustrate the era the star grew up in.
