We're not sure which is more impressive: The fact that Kevin Durant seems to be releasing a new shoe everyday or the fact that he is totally nailing the creative designs.

You've heard about the peanut butter and jelly shoe, and the galaxy shoe that glows in the dark. Well, now Durant and Nike announced they'll be releasing a crab shoe later in November.

Yes. There is now a shoe inspired by crabs.

Speaking about his hometown of Maryland, Kevin Durant said in a promotion video, "In the summertime we would have four or five crab feasts. The culture from where I come from, crab is a big deal. I just wanted to bring it out in the shoe."

But it gets better. Not only is it an homage to his origins, the Thunder star also explained it represents his love of eating the crustaceans. "I love to eat crab. That's why we made the Maryland blue crab shoe."

So now we officially have two shoes designed around food. Kevin Durant must have been hungry when he went into the design meetings with Nike.

But, that's not a bad thing. The shoes did come out looking pretty delicious.
