While Durant only spent one season at the University of Texas, he remembers his time there fondly.
"Attending UT was one of the best experiences of my life and launching the KD 9 back in Austin this past June reflects my love for the college experience I had 10 years ago," said Durant in a short piece on the shoes at Nike.
