Bink! x Nike KD 17
180For those who may now know, Kevin Durant loves hip-hop, which led to the creation of the Nike KD 15 “Producer Pack,” which celebrated the talents of Boi-1da, Cardo, and 9th Wonder in 2022. For 2024, KD gives hip-hop even more flowers, this time placing the spotlight on Roosevelt Harrell III.
Roosevelt Harrell III, who also goes by the name of Bink, is an American hip hop producer from Virginia, who is known for his work with Roc-A-Fella Records artists. His most notable work has been Jay-Z’s critically acclaimed album The Blueprint, for which he produced three tracks. Arriving in a Sesame, University Gold, Rough Green, and Monarch color scheme, the overall appearance of the Bink! x Nike KD 17 is reminiscent of Bink!’s iconic production style as they pay homage to his earthy-toned, soulful samples. Taking a deeper you will find unique details such as Bink!’s signature beneath the lateral Swoosh and stitched hands housed on the heels. Other notable details include the splatter on the midsole alongside a strip of text, while the “HUMBLE” text visible through their semi-translucent outsoles is a tribute to both Durant’s and Bink!’s dedication to their respective crafts.
