We are all Kevin Durantâs emoji.
In an Instagram post by Golden State Warriors guard Nick Young showed some shoes he wore during a recent game. His teammate Durant, however, had one of the best responses to that photo, and he didnât even have to type any letters into his phoneâs keyboard.
Per Youngâs official Instagram account:

First of all, Durant is right. Itâs unclear what brand those shoes are, or how long Young has had them. But they are not the flyest shoes in the closet.
In a way, Youngâs shoes are reminiscent of the ones Stephen Curry released in 2016. The Internet almost broke after Curry released them.

The ones Young is wearing may actually be worse than the 2016 installment of those Curry shoes. The interesting thing here is the notion that Young though it would be a good idea to wear those shoes in public.
Did he lose a bet? Did he forget his real shoes in the previous city, or at the team hotel? Did someone steal his real shoes?
The possibilities are endless, but that does not take away from the fact that Young made a bad fashion decision. And Durant, like any good teammate, roasted Young like he deserved. In fact, Young may have gotten off too easy.
Also, what does Young mean with the caption âPlug Walk?â Is he actually trying to plug those shoes so others will buy them? The logo is not even visible on the shoes, so how will someone know where to go to get them?
Letâs not forget that Young gave himself the Swaggy P nickname. With those shoes, he is not living up to that persona.
