Retros w/ Sneaker God Dez: KD 4 “UT” (Longhorn Edition)

Where were you when the KD 4 “UT” first dropped in 2012?

Fast forward to 2025 — it’s back, and you already know where you need to be.
This Friday, October 24th, Sneaker God Dez takes us back in time as Kicking It releases the KD 4 “UT” Longhorn Edition, one of the most anticipated Nike Basketball retros of the year.

🔦 Sneaker Spotlight: KD 4 “UT” Longhorn Edition

Colorway: Texas Orange / White / Metallic Silver
Original Release: 2012
Retail Price: $135
Sizes: Men’s 6–15

Why It Matters:
The KD 4 “UT” celebrates Texas pride — a nod to Kevin Durant’s short but legendary time in Austin before his NBA takeover. Its bold burnt orange and crisp silver detailing bring back memories of campus courts, packed gyms, and a golden era of Nike Basketball storytelling.

This year’s retro release keeps the spirit alive with authentic Longhorn branding, upgraded materials, and that unmistakable strap silhouette that defined early-2010s performance sneakers.

🧠 From Sneaker God Dez

“If you were around in 2012, you remember how wild that first KD 4 ‘UT’ drop was. For us in Austin, this one hits different — it’s history coming back full circle. Pull up, reminisce, and leave with something for the culture.”
