Kevin Durant Explains Why He Doesn’t Wear LeBron James’ Shoes

Kevin Durant is one of the most honest superstars you’ll ever encounter. When asked a question, the guy feels no need to lie or sugarcoat the truth. He gives it to you straight and from the heart.

Usually, when he’s interacting with the fans on Twitter, it’s mostly to respond to negative comments — but he does answer some serious/harmless questions too.

On Tuesday, for example, he posted a rather interesting Tweet regarding his choice of footwear.

Yessir… Kobe’s, Jordan’s, kai’s…bron doesn’t make 18s but I wanna try his and Giannis kicks…ain’t nothin like them god like kds tho

@KDTrey5 Do you ever secretly hoop in another player’s signature shoe for fun or research?

Yessir..Kobe’s, Jordan’s, kai’s…bron doesn’t make 18s but I wanna try his and Giannis kicks…ain’t nothin like them god like kds tho 😎 https://t.co/3PcIXNVDoI

Kobes are among the most popular sneaker lines, and it’s not hard to figure out why. Besides looking sleek and cool, they are highly functional and inspired by one of the game’s most beloved basketball stars, Kobe Bean Bryant. As an admirer of Kobe, it was to be expected that he’d wear Kobes in his free time.

Jordans are another classic brand that’s been around for ages. With so many different choices and selections, anybody in the world can find a pair of Jordans they like, including Kevin Durant.

Regarding the Kyrie sneakers, Durant is clearly doing his friend a solid. While Kai’s are designed very well, KD’s connection to Irving as a friend and teammate no doubt goes hand-in-hand with his choice of kicks.

Unfortunately for LeBron, he doesn’t make a size big enough for Durant’s foot — which is wild considering how big and tall most basketball players are. Maybe if the next edition of Bron’s comes out with a size 18, Durant will be sporting those as well.
