People say they want athletes to be honest, but then get mad when they are.
Case in point, KD was asked why his sneakers aren’t cheap anymore by Nick DePaula at NiceKicks.com and here was the answer he gave.
“As humbly as I can say it, I’m not a $88 player,” Durant said. “I’m an elite player in the league. I wanted everything to be affordable, but I knew we had to sacrifice some stuff. I just wanted the fans of the brand and of the shoe to just stay patient with me. And stay patient with who I am as a player, and the level I was trying to go to.”
KD sneakers have gotten as high as $180, the latest are $150. You might expect another hike after his signing with Warriors.
