The Nike KD 5 Elite 'Playoffs Home' first appeared in the 2013 NBA Playoffs when Kevin Durant wore them on the court. Shortly after, in May, the shoe was made available to the public in a colorway of white, Tour Yellow, and Photo Blue, which represented Durant's former team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The vibrant yellow color stands out on various parts of the sneaker, including the Flywire strands, outsole, lining, and Swoosh, while the midsole and tongue are adorned in blue.
