However, the most lethal offensive weapon hasn’t stopped his Twitter interactions. Despite the trade drama, KD has been active on his socials. Recently, he even let fans in on a secret revealing what shoes he wears outside the NBA court.

Kevin Durant reveals his secret sneakers

Durant is one of Nike’s most priced athletes. With 14 of his own shoes, KD never falls short off kicks. However, at times it does get monotonous. Likewise, in his off time, the Slim Reaper enjoys his guilty pleasures. He revealed the shoes he hoops in apart from the KDs. And his choices were some of the best shoes in the basketball world.

Unsurprisingly, the 4-time scoring champion enjoys his Kobes and Jordans. Moreover, he also has a wish to wear LeBron James and Giannis Antetokounmpo’s sneakers. Durant said: “Yessir..Kobe’s, Jordan’s, Kai’s…bron doesn’t make 18s but I wanna try his and Giannis kicks… ain’t nothin like them god like kds tho.”
