We’re just weeks away from the debut of the seventeenth chapter of the Nike KD saga.

Now the question is: will the KD 17 featured a Tuned Air bag of its own, or is this design choice purely cosmetic? While we await an official announcement from Nike regarding the tech specs of the shoe, a new colorway has emerged as part of the first batch of KD 17 colorways. Featu ..read more
