In less than a day, the new Nike KD 7 will be launched June 25 at noon time and will be retailed at $150 on June 28, which is this coming Saturday already. Are you ready to grab a pair for your own just yet?
The new model, which sports a rather patriotic colorway, hence named "USA," comes with "a white mesh base with a Hyperposite heel wrap," Sole Collector observed.
"Obsidian works the cross-strap and inner lining, while red adorns the Dynamic Flywire, tongue logo, lace detail, heel and visible Zoom bag. A unique print fills the forefoot Swoosh to complete the look," the site added.
If you're hankering for these babies, you can stave off your excitement by checking out the live streaming of the actual unveiling on Nike Basketball's YouTube channel on June 25, noon time. Kevin Durant himself, as well as the shoe's designer, Leo Chang, will be appearing with host Ahmad Rashad during the said event, as well as "a few surprises," as noted by Sole Collector.
It's Nike's first time to launch a product while "where the whole world is watching them online as it happens," Kicks on Fire said. This is quite astonishing in hindsight, considering the various creative and expensive ways the sporting apparel brand has utilized in promoting and launching new products.
"The idea of having an event such as this is not only brings in the sneakerheads that will surely be watching but also the Kevin Durant fans and basketball junkies who maybe never thought about checking out his kicks before. It's a game-changer to say the least," the site added.
For those of you who've probably already seen the Nike KD 7 somewhere else on the Web, you probably would still want to check out the actual launching as there may be surprises that you'd be quite sorry to have missed. After all, this is Nike's first online marketing foray, and who knows what they have in store for this pioneering effort. You certainly wouldn't be the clueless one when all your friends are talking about it hours afterward.
Kicks on Fire predicted that the launch may include a montage video featuring Kevin Durant highlights. Also, the site noted that what KD wears "is going to be critical to knowing which colorway will drop first."
