The signature pink hue honors Kevin Durant&#8217;s loving aunt, who passed on from lung cancer in 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although there are no official images, the silhouette is said to sport a &#8220;Medium Soft Pink\/White-Lotus Pink&#8221; color scheme, as shown in the leaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The semi-translucent outsoles and light white profile Swooshes provide an additional layer of neutrality to the cotton candy-coated upper. Imprinted on the tongue&#8217;s underside is &#8220;Aunt Pearl&#8221; in elegant cursive. Another tribute is imbedded on the heel counter emblem. Therein, alongside &#8220;Kay Yow&#8221;, alluding to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund (beneficiaries of the proceeds) frames Kevin Durant&#8217;s &#8220;kd&#8221; logo at the center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They&#8217;re projected for release sometime in the holiday season on Nike&#8217;s brick-and-click stores for US$130.
