In 2009, Nike and NBA player Kevin Durant collaborated to introduce his inaugural signature shoe, the KD 1 'Montrose' sneaker. This footwear not only showcases Durant's unique style but also pays homage to his early beginnings before his professional basketball journey. The sneaker was unveiled in February of that year and features a captivating color combination of green and white, representing the team colors of Durant's high school alma mater, Montrose Christian. Adorned with KD branding, Swooshes, and design lines, the shoe boasts a luxurious suede upper and sits atop a translucent outsole.
