Durant stars in Nike ‘Back for the Future’ ad

Sure, the gaudy shoes look like something that Muhammad Ali would have worn into the ring back in the 1970s. The only thing missing are his celebrated red tassels.

But the proceeds from the first editions of the new Nike MAG shoes will .

It seemed that Kevin Durant just wanted a new pair of shoes. Then the space-time continuum showed up.

Durant, Bill Hader, Christopher Lloyd, Tinker Hatfield and Donald Fullilove star in a film about the most famous shoes that were never made. Durant already shows an acting range that Michael Jordan ever seemed to grasp in his “Space Jam” performance. Maybe the former Longhorn has an acting career, yet.

Nike planning to sell KD-inspired backpacks

Kevin Durant soon will become one of the most influential basketball players in the world — if he isn’t there already.  

Nike is planning for that day, too. And they would like to see legions of his fans wearing Kevin Durant backpacks with straps buckled in the front – just like he wears at his post-game press conferences.

The Oklahoman reports that the mammoth shoe company as part of Durant’s KD III line.

Nike isn’t saying what the backpack will look like or its cost. Or even if it will have his initials or some neat swoosh-inspired logo — with his initials or not.

We already have a Kobe Bryant backpack that retails for $90.

But it’s not perceived as being that stylish. Heck, Bryant doesn’t even appear at his post-game press conference wearing one.

Durant, on the other hand, is different.

His appearance at the Thunder’s press conferences makes him look only a couple of long jump shots removed from the student who was wandering “The Drag” in Austin headed to English composition class when he briefly attended Texas only four years ago.

And as for what is in Durant’s backpack?

It’s not really that exciting, according to the Oklahoman.

It usually contains his bible, iPad, headphones, three phones and phone chargers.

“I’m a little lazy,” Durant said, “so I don’t like to carry all that stuff in my hands.”
