The NBA playoffs are near, so that means signature kicks will get an “Elite” revamp. Kevin Durant’s Nike KD 8 gets the said treatment, which includes a calf-length compression sock that may or may not make your normal socks jealous. 

Says Nike Basketball::

Created in collaboration with designer Leo Chang, the breakthrough basketball shoe features a calf-length compression sock, full-length visible Nike Zoom Air cushioning and Flywire technology with Kevlar® aramid fiber. Strategically placed non-stretch woven materials ensure a snug, secure fit while foam provides protection and comfort.

“Transitioning from a low to high is a decision we made with confidence based on our ongoing feedback from Durant to always push the limit on innovative design,” says Chang.

“The KD8 Elite is conceptually designed to blur the lines between the shoe, sock and tight; seamlessly transitioning between each so you can’t differentiate where one begins and the other ends.”

Still in the mix is the full-length visible Nike Zoom Air cushioning to go along with the Kevlar infused Flywire tech.

The KD8 Elite in the white colorway is out worldwide on April 14 while the grey and black version will be available May 5 and May 26, respectively.

Many forget about Kanye's battle with 50 Cent back in the day and we made sure we didn't miss a word of Drake and Meek Mill's recent battle.  With no music, the best rap battle lines are delivered raw and unapologetic . While some argue that the best rap battle lyrics  come from 'off the top of the dome' preparation has proven to be the key to success.  There is no doubt that some of the best lyrics of all time  were written and a majority of the time they weren't written by the rapper delivering the lyrics . If you are thinking about showing up to that battle without pre-prepared bars, you may want to think again.  Here is our list of the some of the best rap battle lyrics : "You ain't a lea...
