American sportswear brand Nike has forged many successful partnerships with professional athletes, and this aspect of the brand has had a major impact on Nike’s untouched status and reputation. To honor NBA champion and MVP Kevin Durant’s acceptance speech at the 2014 NBA MVP awards, Nike created The Real MVP version of the KD 4, filled with subtle branding that references his moving speech.

In our opinion, the best feature of the Nike KD 4 The Real MVP is its inspirational messages, which infuse the shoe with meaning. The shoe was released on February 18, 2025, and retailed for $150.
