The KD 7 'Lightning 534' draws inspiration from Kevin Durant's fascination with weather patterns, particularly the thunderstorms that frequently occur in New York City. The design of this shoe is a visual representation of these storms, with a specific reference to the lightning rod located on Fifth Avenue and 34th Street. To capture the essence of lightning, the shoe incorporates a striking purple hue, symbolizing the vibrant color of the sky that accompanies thunderstorms. Additionally, the shoe features a variety of storm-inspired graphics, including on the Swoosh logo, further emphasizing its stormy theme.
