Nike KD 18 B.A.D. Barbara A. Davis HV1992-501
The Nike KD 18 “B.A.D.” is a heartfelt nod to Kevin Durant’s late grandmother, Barbara A. Davis. As the initials form the KD 18 “B.A.D.” name, it’s one of his most emotional signature shoes.
Durant has shared the stories and significance of the namesake for each “B.A.D.” since 2022. A common theme throughout is the impact of his grandmother and other family women. In terms of aesthetics, the previous releases focused heavily on the color purple.
Durant’s latest pair opens the colorway to include a lavender base, Fire Pink accents, and warm Hemp tan overlays. The color mix is unique, vivid, and colorful. It offers up new visuals for Durant’s ongoing story while taking the series into new directions. To further pay homage to his grandmother, check out small but significant details like the “B.A.D.” embroidery at the heel.
The Nike KD 18 “B.A.D.” will be available on October 1, 2025, for $115 at Nike.com and select retailers.
