Ranking Kevin Durant's Top 10 Sneakers of the NBA Season

This year Kevin Durant is once again unceremoniously eliminated from the NBA playoffs. The first-round win over the Minnesota Timberwolves only increased sentiment for the aging star and his legacy.

The one-sided series added insult to injury after an online dispute between adidas and Anthony Edwards made headlines in the sneaker community earlier this season. However, it wasn't all bad for Durant this year. He averaged nearly 28 points per game and helped the Suns to a 49-win season.

Even better, Durant debuted several exciting colorways of his 16th signature sneaker with Nike. Remembering Durant's Season, Sports Illustrated's Fan Nation Kicks has ranked his top ten sneakers of the 2023-24 NBA season.
