The first ever premium KD 7 finally gets an official release date from the Swoosh, and to be honest it's one of the cleanest colorways we've seen so far. But like all "premium" shoes from Nike, is this worth the price increase?

We first saw this colorway during the FIBA World Championships, and was believed to be a USA themed PE. Good news as the colorway is scheduled to drop in the next few weeks, as will be the first premium KD 7 to hit shelves. There's no official word on technology advances in the KD 7 premium, but maybe the price increase comes from the gold used around the heel posite area, and Swoosh logo that gives off a more luxury feel. All previous KD 7's have retailed for $150, so although the increase isn't very drastic, will you be willing to shell out some extra dough to scoop these up?

The KD 7 Premium is scheduled to drop November 22, for a suggested retail price of $170.
