Kevin Durant never played a college game for Texas that mattered to the record books, and it never mattered to sneaker history. His one Longhorns season produced one of the best college colorways of the modern era, and now the Nike KD 6 “Texas” is coming back. Mark the date, November 17, 10 AM EST, SNKRS, $135. Style code JF6986-001.
The colorway is officially Black, Green Glow and Urban Orange, which is Longhorns country if you know burnt orange when you see it. Black base across the KD 6’s low-cut engineered upper, green glow accents hitting the Swoosh and midfoot graphics, and that unmistakable Texas orange stamping the tongue branding and heel KD logo. The translucent green-tinged outsole underneath ties it together. It is loud in a way only college retros get away with.
The KD 6 itself remains one of the best-performing retros Nike has brought back, a low-profile trainer with real Zoom cushioning that still handles pickup basketball in 2026. That is rare for a retro. Most of these come back as fashion objects, this one you can actually hoop in, and at $135 it is priced like a team shoe rather than a collector piece.
Honestly the KD retro program has been on a tear, and Texas colorways carry a fanbase that shows up. If the 2013 original is anything to go by, this will not sit through the weekend. SNKRS at 10 on the 17th, or pay the resale toll afterward. You have five days to set an alarm.
