Birken Stock
During the course of a lifetime, no other part of the body is subject to so much strain as our feet. They maintain the body's balance, absorb impact and bear the entire weight of the body. Birkenstock footwear is designed to offer optimal support.
Nike KD V1
The KD VI was developed to the exact specifications of MVP Kevin Durant, with a sharp focus on design benefits and personal stories. The journey continues with a KD VI NIKEiD MVP graphic celebrating Durant’s first MVP award, now available exclusively on NIKEiD.
There is more to KD’s MVP award than stellar statistics. His mental focus this season allowed him to cut through the clutter, represented by the pixelated KD VI NIKEiD MVP graphic. Key stats from the year — including Durant's 31+ points per game scoring average, 41 consecutive game streak scoring 25+ points and two 50+ point games — appear through an intentionally blurred graphic that becomes clear with these bright stats.
