KD helped pave the way for slim 7-footers like Chet Holmgren to get into their bag and dream about the absurd, not convention. This Chet x KD18? Goes crazy, of course. Leopard mohair hits riff with deep royal purple as a rocked out homage to Chet’s proud Minnesotan roots. And check Chet’s logo on the tongue, #7’s stamp on a smash hit debut. Zoom, Zoom A big forefoot Air Zoom unit offers a different level of velocity when exploding, either on the dead run or out of a standstill position. It offers a different level of snappy pop when the game revs up. Our latest version of Cushlon foam adds a soft, comfortable sensation and freshness for four quarters. Pop Your Steps The bottom layer of the upper has Nike Air cushioning at the heel to add a pop in your step. A strong plastic plate directly underfoot conforms as you flex. It works with the forefoot Air Zoom unit to give you a snappy first step while also providing support and stability. Let It Breathe The upper is made of open-holed sandwich mesh, which not only offers a different level of breathability when the action heats up, but also helps reduce the weight of the shoe. Stay Contained A tough plastic cage offers firmness on both sides of your foot. It helps keep you upright.
