One of the signature sneakers that basketball fans are looking forward to, is the Nike KD 16. Kevin Durant's Nike KD 15 was a massive success and easily one of the best sneakers of the season. Overall, the crown was taken by LeBron James and his Nike LeBron 20. However, there is no doubt that KD is known for having some truly impressive basketball silhouettes. Every year, it always feels like he has one of the best shoes out on the market. Needless to say, some things just never change.

Now that the NBA playoffs are here, fans are hoping to see some new sneakers on the court. Although many players will just wear new colorways of their current silhouettes, some will try and debut something new. Over the weekend, Durant decided to surprise fans by taking to Instagram with a photo of three distinct-looking sneakers. Upon reading the caption of this post, you can immediately tell that this is the first look at the Nike KD 16. Additionally, each shoe is posed in front of a cactus, as he is now in Phoenix.
