Kevin Durant's Return from Injury Sparks Nets Victory Against Suns

Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant returned from a two-game absence due to a back injury on Tuesday night and led his team to a victory against the Phoenix Suns, scoring 23 points in 28 minutes of play. Durant, who missed a total of 23 games due to injury this season, looked healthy and displayed his usual impressive skills on both ends of the court. He also contributed five rebounds, three…

An Analysis of Jhoan Durán's 2023 Shoe Game

This exercise began as me browsing through official Twins photos of Duran, mainly to find clear images of his entrance show and some cool action shots. He's a truly unique and jaw-dropping pitcher, and also 6'5"/259 with massive shoulders and legs which is a bit of a step on me vibe tbh, which makes him very fun to watch.

Anyway, he wears a lot of different cleats! Let's break them down!

(Images from the Twins photography team on gettyimages)

It seems like players use more generic/less customized equipment during spring training, as seen here with Duran's plain black cleats and glove. Based on the videos from Julio Rodriguez's youtube channel, players can design custom equipment and receive it in time for the regular season.

3/30/23: For Duran's first outing of the regular season, we see the first and only appearance of the silver cleats. They seem intended to match the gray pinstripe uniform, but he never wears them in a game again and I'm not sure why. This is also the sole 2023 appearance for the black glove with the red laces and little DR flag, Duran's go-to 2022 glove, before he switches to his new all-red glove. Maybe his other equipment hadn't come in yet?

4/7/23: The home opener debuts the flamethrower cleats, with a red and yellow flame design on white, and a red heel with Duran's #59 in gold. He typically pairs these with the home white uniform. These don't seem to have any further Duran-specific customization beyond that he, y'know, throws heat.

Seen on: 4/7, 4/12, 4/25, 4/29, 5/24, 6/2, 6/21, 7/23*, 8/4, 8/15

(Detail on the flamethrower cleats)

4/8/23: Worn with the Twin Cities cream uniform (*and later the home navy), the Durantula cleats are perhaps Duran's most distinctive. They feature a red-black gradient with gold accent stripes, his personal JD logo in red on the outer ankle, his #59 in red on the heel, and black spider designs. The tongue of the shoe also has "The Durantula" written on it in red.

Seen on: 4/8, 4/23, 4/30, 5/10, 5/27, 6/14, 6/17*, 7/7, 7/22*, 8/18*, 9/12*

(Detail on the Durantula cleats)

4/11/23: Duran debuts the bicolor cleats with the home navy uniform, but afterwards uses them with the away uniforms, both navy and pinstripe. The left cleat is all-red and the right is all-navy, with his #59 in opposite color on the heel, matching the Twins colors as well as the DR flag. The right cleat has a decal reading "Dios" (God) on the toe, while the left has a grayscale decal of what appears to be Duran himself.

Seen on: 4/11*, 4/14, 4/18, 5/4, 5/5, 5/15, 5/20, 5/29, 6/7, 6/9, 6/23, 6/25, 7/1, 7/2, 7/14, 7/15, 7/16, 7/19, 7/28, 8/1, 8/3, 8/10, 8/13

(Detail on the bicolor cleats)

4/27/23: Duran only wears the DR flag cleats once, the day before he took a day's absence to fill out unspecified immigration paperwork. They are reversed from the bicolor cleats, with the inside being red on the right and navy on the left. A red and blue spotted pattern on white wraps around the heel, with Duran's #59 centered in white. The outside features a Dominican Republic flag, with "habichuela" (beans) and "carne [y] arroz" (meat and rice) written in the white crossbars. Finally the toe is white with "The Durantula" written in a navy-red gradient.

These seem to be special occasion cleats, celebrating Duran's heritage in the DR. I'm unsure what the occasion was for, or if it had to do with the immigration paperwork or not. Regardless, I wish him well in that process, US immigration law is a bitch and a half.

(Detail on the DR flag cleats)

7/23/23: Duran wears the flamethrower cleats with the Twin Cities uniform for the first and only time. This is a killer look tbh.

8/18/23: Duran pairs the Durantula cleats with the home white uniform for the first time. This marks the end of circulation for Duran's original three cleats, though he breaks out this combo again on 9/12 against the Rays for some reason.

8/20/23: A new cleat debuts for the first time since April, the Durantula 2.0. These are all-cream with "Durantula" written on the outside, in navy on the left cleat and red on the right. Duran's #59 is outlined in the same colors on each heel. These replace the Durantula cleats as Duran's main pairing with the Twin Cities cream uniforms.

Seen on: 8/20, 8/27, 8/30, ALWC game 1, ALDS game 4

(Detail on the Durantula 2.0 cleats)

8/23/23: The second cleat debut in as many appearances, the pinstripe cleats replace the bicolor cleats as Duran's away choice. They feature thick red pinstripes on a gray background, and a chunky navy heel with his #59 in white. Unfortunately, their debut is a walkoff loss to the Brewers on that nasty 100+ heat index day.

Seen on: 8/23, 9/1, 9/2, 9/16, 9/20, 9/30, ALDS game 2

8/26/23: And rounding out the new set are the northwoods cleats, replacing the flamethrower cleats as Duran's home whites combo. Following the more minimalist trend of this collection, they are mainly white with a red heel and his #59 in white, the outside featuring a brown bear catching a fish against gray pine tree silhouettes.

Seen on: 8/26, 9/8, 9/22, 9/27, ALWC game 2

(Detail on the northwoods cleats)

And that's everything! 63 appearances, eight different cleats. I have done absolutely no research on other players, so I don't know if Duran is unique/uncommon in customizing his cleats so highly or even having specific pairs for specific uniforms. It's pretty cool though, and gives some glimpses into his personality and style both on and off the field.

Anyway here's a picture of Duran after closing out the Wild Card clincher :) I love this man, bless the arms and keep them healthy
