The Nike KD 17 “Metro Boomin” is a striking addition to the “Producer Pack” series, paying homage to the acclaimed producer’s 2022 album “Heroes & Villains” and his “Hearts On Fire” merchandise. This latest colorway joins other KD 17 designs honoring renowned producers like Bink! and The Alchemist, further blending Kevin Durant’s passion for music with his signature shoe line.
The base of the shoe is adorned with a captivating “Atomic Violet” and “Hyper Grape” print, complete with lightning bolts that symbolize the electrifying nature of Metro Boomin’s music. Transparent TPU structures overlay the vibrant print, allowing it to shine through in all its glory. The right heel features a “Hearts On Fire” graphic, a nod to the producer’s merchandise, while the left heel features a purple “Leslie” signature, a tribute to Metro’s late mother, who passed away in 2022.
The tongue of the Nike KD 17 “Metro Boomin” features a jumping man graphic encased in a clear circular button, referencing Metro’s 2018 album “Not All Heroes Wear Capes.” This subtle detail adds depth to the overall design of the shoe, demonstrating the thoughtful incorporation of the producer’s discography.
Set to release on June 14th for $160, the Nike KD 17 “Metro Boomin” will be available alongside its two “Producer Pack” counterparts.
