This past week, Leo Chang, one of Nike Basketball’s most notable designers, took to Facebook to field questions on his latest major undertaking. Kevin Durant’s third signature, the Zoom KD III, is the most talked about shoe in the lineup to date, thanks to his breakout performances over the last year or so.
During the chat, Chang revealed some very interesting facts about the Zoom KD III, including the weight (13.5 ounces) and some of the shoe’s design influences. Durant, forever a team-first leader, allowed teammates to help with the design and included five lightning bolts on the underside of the outsole to represent the fact that there are five Thunder players on the court at any one time. The most intriguing news that came from the discussion has to be that the shoe will hit Nike iD in the spring 2011, allowing for vast customization options. For now though, a lone colorway (Black/White-Photo Blue-Team Orange) is available at select retailers.
