The Aunt Pearl Line Turns Sixteen in Pink
Every year around this time, Kevin Durant’s signature line goes pink, and honestly, it never feels like a cash grab. The Nike KD 19 “Aunt Pearl” lands November 13 for $170, and it’s the sixteenth entry in a series that honors Durant’s late aunt, who helped raise him and lost her battle with cancer. This edition continues the partnership with the Kay Yow Cancer Fund, so a slice of meaning ships with the pink. I’ve always respected that Nike keeps this tradition alive on the court rather than turning it into a one-off photo op.
The colorway reads Pink Foam, Metallic Summit White, and Stadium Green, and the first official shots show a soft granite-style pink across the upper with darker pink Swoosh logos and silver KD branding tucked in. The Zoom Air stack underneath carries over from the rest of the KD 19 line, which has been one of the better feeling performance shoes of the season if you like a responsive, low-to-the-ground ride. That green accent is subtle, mostly on the outsole, and it keeps the shoe from reading as one flat shade of pink.
Style code is IO8111-600 for anyone keeping the spreadsheet updated. Expect the standard SNKRS drop plus select Nike basketball retailers at 10 AM ET. Given the cause and the color, sizes in women’s and grade school tend to move fast, and past Aunt Pearls have settled into resale ranges well above retail once the initial stock dries up. If pink basketball shoes are your thing, this is the release of the year to chase.
