Set to launch in late Feburary, the KD VI "Aunt Pearl" pays tribute to Kevin's Aunt Pearl who passed away in 2000 to lung cancer. With a pink floral pattern on the upper and highlights of blue and pearl, the print was inspired by a robe that Durant's aunt used to wear.

"I made a promise to myself to always honor my Aunt Pearl for the example she set, and the encouragement she gave me to follow my dreams," said Durant.

The KD VI "Aunt Pearl" is set to release Feb. 27 at Nike.com and select retailers globally along with a matching tee and hat.
