Thunder Star Kevin Durant Honors Late Aunt With This New Shoe Design

Kevin Durant continues to prove that, when it comes to shoe designs, his is the most creative line around.

The Oklahoma City Thunder superstar has debuted shoes honoring Maryland Blue Crabs, peanut butter and jelly and Native American youth.

This month Durant is bringing back another cool design, this one meant as a tribute to his late Aunt Pearl. The KD VI Aunt Pearl, set to be released Feb. 27, honors Durant's aunt, who died from lung cancer in 2000. The two were very close, and the shoe's floral design is similar to a pattern on a robe that Aunt Pearl liked to wear.

“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,” Durant said.

Here are a few photos of the line:

The shoes have the Kay Yow Cancer Fund logo on the tongue and will raise awareness for the battle against women’s cancer. Proceeds from the sale of the shoe will go toward the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
