Spread the Love: The KD 6 ‘Peanut Butter Jelly’ Is Back For Seconds

signature line has served up plenty of heat over the years, but few colourways have stuck in the collective imagination quite like the KD 6 ‘Peanut Butter & Jelly’. Originally dropped in 2013, the fan-favourite is primed to spread some flavour once again.

Inspired by Durant’s childhood love for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, the KD 6 iteration features a smooth 'Laser Orange' upper to represent peanut butter, with a glossy 'Raspberry Red' Swoosh smeared across the side like jelly on toast. It’s playful, personal and packed with nostalgia – everything a great signature colourway should be.

Tech-wise, the KD 6 marked a significant evolution in Durant's footwear line. Its low-cut silhouette combined with Flywire support and Zoom Air cushioning offers a blend of agility and responsiveness. It became a defining sneaker during Durant’s MVP run with OKC and is still a staple in any serious collector’s rotation.

The KD 6 era wasn’t just about sandwiches either. Other standout colourways like the ‘Aunt Pearl’ paid tribute to Durant’s late aunt and breast cancer awareness, while the ‘Meteorology’ channelled his fascination with weather patterns. The ‘Texas’ paid homage to his college days and the ‘Christmas’ edition dropped with a frosty minty green finish that still turns heads.

Rumour has it that Kevin Durant’s Nike KD 6 ‘Peanut Butter & Jelly’ will return in 2026. While we’re expecting the retro to retain all the aesthetic hallmarks of the legendary OG, we might see some subtle performance upgrades under the hood. As always, you’ll have to stay locked to Sneaker Freaker for updates.
