Kevin Durant releases 'Red Velvet' Nike shoe

Kevin Durant isn't running from the "cupcake" moniker back-handily given to him by former teammate Russell Westbrook. Instead, he's embracing it.

Nike announced the newest colorway of the Kevin Durant's signature KD 10 shoe on Tuesday, a red and black flyknit shoe with a frosty white sole, dubbed the "KDX Red Velvet." And in the picture of the announcement, the shoe is surrounded by red velvet cupcakes.

"With a style of play as smooth as velvet, KD is known for having the most fluid game in the game today," Nike explains in a press release.
