The 13-time All-Star has a relationship with Nike that dates back to 2007. They have released 15 different sets of shoes. A 16th is coming soon. The lifetime deal will continue to include shoes and other apparel, along with other “community and philanthropic collaboration focused on grassroots basketball.” The 34-year-old Durant joined the Phoenix Suns in a midseason trade with the Brooklyn Nets.
