Few products in the ever-changing realm of sneaker culture elicit as much enthusiasm and nostalgia as reissues of famous models. A perfect example is the Nike KD 4 Aunt Pearl, which will make a triumphant return in Holiday 2024. The KD 4 Aunt Pearl, which was originally unveiled in 2012, honors Kevin Durant’s late aunt, Pearl, who died of lung cancer when KD was only 11 years old. The sneaker is more than simply a piece of footwear; it’s a highly emotional memorial from one of the NBA’s most prolific scorers to a beloved family member, with the design encapsulating memories and feelings.
The 2012 KD 4 Aunt Pearl iteration was widely praised for its visual appeal and poignant tale. The sneaker’s bright pink coloring represents breast cancer awareness, a cause important to Durant’s heart. It features pearl accents and a Kay Yow Cancer Fund ribbon to highlight its commitment to cancer awareness and research. The design stood out in the KD collection, praised for its powerful statement and moving story. Check out the whole history of KD’s Aunt Pearl sneakers by going through each release here!

The Aunt Pearl’s technology will remain unchanged, as it has in prior KD 4 re-releases.
The Nike KD 4 Aunt Pearl is scheduled for release in Holiday 2024. It will be available globally through Nike, SNKRS, and select Nike Basketball shops, both online and in-store. The selling price for men’s sizes is $130. The Sole Retriever mobile app features all of the most recent KD 4 releases and news!
