The Nike Zoom KD 9 GS 'Fire and Ice' was launched in November 2016 as a limited edition for grade-school students. This distinctive sneaker showcases an unconventional design with mismatched colorways, where the left shoe is adorned in vibrant red, while the right one boasts a striking blue hue. The inspiration behind this unique color story traces back to a clever technique employed by a young Kevin Durant to keep his hands warm during frigid outdoor practice sessions in Maryland. Durant would pour hot water over his hands, causing a sensational burning feeling, which perfectly epitomizes the metaphorical 'fire and ice' combination that the shoe represents.
