Where to Buy the Nike KD 4 “Aunt Pearl”
Published:October 18, 2024
Few sneaker releases carry a story as heartfelt as the Nike KD 4 "Aunt Pearl." More than just a striking all-pink design, this sneaker honors a cherished figure in Kevin Durant’s life – his late Aunt Pearl. As a source of inspiration and love, Aunt Pearl’s impact on Durant’s journey as a basketball player and person is profound. Wherever KD goes, no matter the heights basketball has taken him, Aunt Pearl is with him every step of the way.
This iconic tribute carries a deeper message, not just for Durant but for everyone touched by cancer. Aunt Pearl passed away from lung cancer in 2000, but her legacy continues to shine through KD’s life and his work. The Nike KD "Aunt Pearl" series, first launched in 2012, has been dedicated to her memory, supporting the Kay Yow Cancer Fund to raise awareness and fight for a cure.
This all-pink colorway of the KD 4 is both bold and beautiful, symbolizing the strength, love, and fight that Aunt Pearl embodied. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the sneaker serves as a reminder of the ongoing battle against cancer, urging us all to continue pushing forward in the pursuit of a cure.
The Nike KD 4 “Aunt Pearl” is set to release on Friday, October 25th, in-store and online at DTLR.com.
