Kevin Durant debuts shoe based on his MVP speech suit (VIDEO)

Published Aug. 5, 2015 3:39 p.m. ET

Kevin Durant's emotional 2014 MVP speech will always be remembered for its length (nearly 30 minutes), careful consideration (he thanked each of his teammates with a personal anecdote), and quotability ("You the real MVP"). 

Most forget Durant delivered his heartfelt speech wearing a purple-and-green suit. Depending on the angle of the camera, combined with the NBA's blue background drape, Durant's suit looked slightly blueish, but any debate over such a serious matter has finally been to rest.

Durant is commemorating his iconic speech with the last installment of his Nike KD8 shoe, the KD8 Suit.

The shoe stands out with its bold purple-and-green color, mimicking Durant's suit (hence the name). For sneakerheads looking for a dope color way and a meaningful backstory for a shoe, this fits the bill.
