With the NBA playoffs in full swing, Kevin Durant and his Golden State Warriors are looking to defend the Larry O’Brien trophy, and Durant took to the court for Saturday’s Game 1 drubbing of the Clippers in a special PE makeup of the Nike Kobe 12. As the Slim Reaper grew up in the ’90s, he was heavily inspired by basketball-themed feature films, namely Above The Rim and White Man Can’t Jump. Both of those movies lend a detail to this black, white, and pink PE, as the font used for the heel’s bold text branding is drawn from Above The Rim’s logo, and the color palette is taken directly from the faded cycling hat worn by Wesley Snipes’ wise-cracking hoops hustler Sidney Deane in White Men Can’t Jump.

The overall aesthetic has also completely transformed as the KD12 sports a 5/8th cut with some informational cues on the medial side, and there are certainly some high-energy colorways in the works as the Playoffs approach.
