Nike and Paris Saint-Germain Unveil Metallic Silver KD 6 Collaboration

Nike and the renowned French football club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have officially unveiled their latest collaborative footwear: the PSG x Nike KD 6 "Metallic Silver." This partnership deepens the existing ties between the global sportswear giant, the Parisian soccer powerhouse, and NBA superstar Kevin Durant. The release is particularly noteworthy as it introduces the first entirely original colorway for the KD 6 silhouette since its reintroduction to the market as a retro model. The KD 6, originally released in 2013, is a low-profile basketball shoe designed for performance, known for its innovative cushioning and sleek aesthetic. Its return as a retro has been met with enthusiasm by sneaker collectors and fans of Durant's signature line.

The "Metallic Silver" colorway draws significant inspiration from the world of soccer, specifically evoking the appearance of classic soccer boots with its dominant metallic silver upper. This choice of material and finish lends the sneaker a premium and sophisticated look, while still adhering to the functional design principles of the KD 6. Complementing the metallic base are accents in traditional PSG club colors: club navy and red, which are strategically placed throughout the silhouette to signify the collaboration. These colors are deeply associated with Paris Saint-Germain's identity and branding, reinforcing the connection to the football club.

A distinctive design element is the circular "35" badge prominently featured on the lateral side of the shoe. This emblem directly references Kevin Durant's long-standing jersey number, a personal identifier that has become synonymous with his career and brand. Integrating this personal detail into the co-branded design underscores Durant's direct involvement and connection to both the sneaker and the club. This collaboration is further contextualized by Kevin Durant's recent acquisition of a minority stake in Paris Saint-Germain, a move that signifies a deeper commitment and integration into the club's future.

The PSG x Nike KD 6 "Metallic Silver" builds upon a history of successful collaborations between Durant and Paris Saint-Germain. Previous joint ventures have included custom player-exclusive (PE) versions of Durant's signature basketball shoes, such as a notable KD 18 PE, and a comprehensive "DC to Paris" apparel collection that celebrated the cultural exchange between Washington D.C. and Paris. This new sneaker release continues to explore the intersection of basketball performance and soccer culture.

The PSG x Nike KD 6 "Metallic Silver" is slated for release on September 18, 2026. It will be available in men's sizing with a Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP) of $135 USD. The SKU for this specific colorway is IU00593-001, and the full color scheme is listed as "Metallic Silver/Global Red-White-College Navy." Purchasers will be able to acquire the sneaker through Nike's official online and physical retail channels, as well as from select authorized retailers, making it accessible to a wide audience of sneaker enthusiasts and fans of both brands.
