Nike KD 14

Translucent soles perform just as well as the solid colors ? I need to grab a couple more pairs.
 
This shoe is kinda ugly and fire at the same time lol but man if they aren’t some of the best performers ever

Still never saw any steal prices for these, like $90 or anything!
 
Team whites restocked on Nike, with Rakuten it gets you around $100.

I just grabbed these from the outlet for 109, I had a 10% b day promo too. Funny thing is I made a backup Nike/snkrs account a few years ago. Apparently I said my b-day was around this time cuz it’s actually June lol.

I tried this model a long time ago and they had a problem in the upper where it rubbed into my foot so bad it broke skin. Had to return. Today I saw em and tried them on, they felt really good, didn’t seem like they’d pinch anywhere. I’ll hoop in them soon to confirm though.

I don't even wear the 14s I have, but I sometimes still wish I'd gotten a pair of these or the alts. Just too unique.
 
I've been looking for awhile too... Occasionally have cropped up at outlets/discount spots but I think those days may have passed. One of my all time favorite performance models (despite the questionable looks/colorways)
 
Tbf, those could’ve been broken out recently. 14s are incredible but were never the most durable…

Haha, true! But nope! It's the exact same pair. Recall that those were unique for each pair. So no 2 patterns are alike. Look at the getty images photos and you can see it's the same pair with the same wear patterns and the same little piece of white fuzz near where the strap gets pulled over :lol:

And if you go back in this thread you can see a post from lukeskywalker lukeskywalker here: https://niketalk.com/threads/nike-kd-14.692619/page-39#post-35137152

And compare the patterns. They're different.

Duren is still playing in his same pair! Which is great because that's so much fun when you love a shoe so much you play in them until they damn near fall off your feet.

If anybody wants to confirm, he's on ig, that would be awesome to get a response from him, as a fellow sneakerhead

Just for fun, here's Feb 24, 2024, when it looks like he wore this specific colorway for the first time

All nice and new, no fraying but worn probably in practices and warmups, etc.

Now here's last night, January 22nd, 2025, nearly a year later. You can see the same outsole patters just continuing.
The red paint near the toe is giving way to blue paint. Really hard to pick up tread wear but there does seem to be a smooth part on the front and the bottom seems ever so slightly worn down. Very visible foam flex points.

Pretty neat if you ask me
