Nike KD 8 Elite - Home

Created in collaboration with designer Leo Chang, the Nike KD 8 Elite features a calf-length compression sock, full-length visible Nike Zoom Air cushioning and Flywire technology with Kevlar aramid fiber. “TRANSITIONING FROM A LOW TO HIGH IS A DECISION WE MADE WITH CONFIDENCE BASED ON OUR ONGOING FEEDBACK FROM DURANT TO ALWAYS PUSH THE LIMIT ON INNOVATIVE DESIGN,” SAYS CHANG. “THE KD8 ELITE IS CONCEPTUALLY DESIGNED TO BLUR THE LINES BETWEEN THE SHOE, SOCK AND TIGHT; SEAMLESSLY TRANSITIONING BETWEEN EACH SO YOU CAN’T DIFFERENTIATE WHERE ONE BEGINS AND THE OTHER ENDS.” The three key benefits of the KD 8 Elite are as follows: Built-in, crew-length compression sock for enhanced support, Full-length visible Nike Zoom Air cushioning for a responsive ride, and Flywire technology with Kevlar aramid fiber for superior lockdown.
