Nike took to their official site to provide release details and information for the upcoming Nike KD VI Supreme “Aunt Pearl”. The official color way for these is Light Arctic Pink/Photo Blue-Vivid Pink. Us over at DefPenRadio decided to relay the message to you guys and find out if these will be a DEF cop or DEF not.
Kevin Durant was inseparable with his late Aunt Pearl who passed away from lung cancer in 2000. His bond with her began at a young age and he loved spending time with his aunt watching movies, joking and laughing at his grandma’s house in Capitol Heights, Maryland, just outside of Washington, D.C. Aunt Pearl had a unique ability to reach the sometimes shy Durant as a kid. Her memory lives on as KD keeps her spirit alive. “I made a promise to myself to always honor my Aunt Pearl for the example she set, and the encouragement she gave me to follow my dreams,” said Durant.
The KD VI Supreme Aunt Pearl pays tribute to KD’s aunt with a pink floral pattern on the upper and highlights of blue with subtle pearls. The floral motif on the shoe is similar to the pattern on a robe that Aunt Pearl often wore. Adorned with a Kay Yow Cancer Fund logo on the tongue, the special edition shoe raises awareness in the battle against women’s cancers. Proceeds from the shoe will go to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund that was founded in 2007 and an organization in which Nike is a founding partner.
The KD VI Supreme Aunt Pearl shoe is available on Feb. 27 at Nike.com (also available in Grade School sizes 4Y-7Y for $100). The ‘Aunt Pearl’ KD VI will be Twitter Link Only (GS sizes also). Please follow @nikestore for more information. There is also a matching t-shirt and hat that will be available in February.
