Nike has been making waves on the sneaker market with their impressive lineup of shoes this year. And in the coming days, they are expected to make headlines again with their eye-catching sneakers from NBA superstar Kevin Durant's line.

Kevin Durant's sixth signature shoe with Nike will be released in two excellent editions—the "Aunt Pearl" and "Liger" editions.

The Nike KD VI Supreme "Aunt Pearl" will arrive at retailers on Thursday at 6 p.m. EST, as noted by Nike. This specialized colorway of the KD VI will retail at $150 per pair.

Officially listed as the Light Arctic Pink/Photo Blue-Vivid Pink colorway, this shoe was made as a tribute to Durant's late Aunt Pearl, who served as one of the Oklahoma City Thunder superstar's inspirations while growing up.

According to Durant, his childhood memories with his late aunt will never be forgotten, and this specialized shoe is one of his ways of paying tribute to her.

"I made a promise to myself to always honor my Aunt Pearl for the example she set, and the encouragement she gave me to follow my dreams," Durant said.

This edition of the KD VI sports a full floral print on the upper part with a photo blue tongue, Nike Swoosh, and KD logo.

A Kay Yow Breast Cancer Awareness ribbon is visible on the tongue, as this shoe was also made to raise awareness about different types of women's cancers. All proceeds from this shoe will be donated to the Kay Yow Cancer Fund.

Meanwhile, the "Liger" edition sports a blend of leopard and tiger prints on the upper part along with an electric green midsole and outsole with an atomic orange air heel unit.

According to Nike, this edition was inspired by Durant's love of animal print and bold colors.

The KD VI "Liger", which is officially listed as the Electric Green/Night Factor-Atomic Orange colorway of this signature sneaker, will be released on March 1 at 8 a.m. EST and will retail at $130 per pair.
