Nike KD 19 Candy Paint Black: Retail vs Resale Price, Stock & Where to Buy
- Nike does not call this shoe Candy Paint Black — its own page calls it KD19 Black, style IH1117-002. It costs $155 at Nike and Foot Locker, every size is in stock, and StockX resale is currently $147, which is below retail rather than above it.
- The style code is the only reliable way to confirm you are looking at the right shoe. Three sellers use three different names for IH1117-002: Nike says Black, Foot Locker says Stadium Green/Black, StockX says Candy Paint Black.
- Resale sitting under retail is what you would expect from a shoe released on 19 August that is still available in all 26 sizes at full price. The highest standing bid on StockX is $60, $87 below the asking price.
- The $8 gap between the StockX ask and Nike’s price is small enough that StockX’s checkout fees, which are not shown until checkout, could erase it. No fee figure is quoted on this page because none was read.
Search for the Nike KD 19 Candy Paint Black and you will find it on StockX, in resale listings, and in the title of this page. What you will not find is that name anywhere on Nike’s own website.
That is the first useful thing to know, because it explains why the shoe seems to be missing from nike.com. The second is stranger: right now the resale price is lower than the retail price.
What is the Nike KD 19 Candy Paint Black?
It is Nike’s KD19 “Black” — style code IH1117-002 — sold under a different name by almost everyone except Nike. The product page on nike.com is titled KD19 “Black” and gives the colorway as Black/Stadium Green. The word “candy” does not appear on that page once.
The style code is what settles the question, and all three sellers print it or a version of it.
| Seller | Name it uses | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Nike | KD19 “Black” | $155 |
| Foot Locker | Stadium Green/Black | $155 |
| StockX | Candy Paint Black | $147 last sale |
So the search term is not a mistake, and it is not somebody’s invention either. “Candy Paint” is a real colorway family across this KD 19 run: Foot Locker sells a Candy Paint Orange/University Gold and a Butter Candy, and StockX lists a Candy Paint Green alongside the black one. Nike simply did not carry the family name over to this particular pair’s product page.
The practical consequence is that searching nike.com for “candy paint” returns nothing useful. Search the style code instead.
What does Nike say the KD 19 does?
Nike’s pitch is cushioning and speed, built around a full-length Air Zoom Strobel unit. That is a Zoom Air bag running the whole length of the shoe directly beneath the foot, which Nike pairs with a midfoot plate for stability and Cushlon 3.0 foam for the underfoot feel.
The two other features Nike puts forward are structural rather than about cushioning. A TPU element wraps the midfoot and heel for lockdown, which Nike describes as dagger-inspired and ties to Kevin Durant’s nickname. The outsole traction pattern carries embedded 35s and 7s — the two jersey numbers Durant has worn across his career.
None of that has been tested here, and all of it is Nike describing its own product. It is worth repeating anyway, because it is the only first-party account of what this shoe is meant to be, and because of what it leaves out: Nike’s page names Durant repeatedly and describes the shoe at length without ever using the phrase most people type in to find it.
How much does the Nike KD 19 Candy Paint Black cost?
$155 at Nike and $155.00 at Foot Locker, with no discount at either. That is also the price of every other KD 19 colorway Foot Locker currently lists — all six sit at $155.00 with no markdown against any of them.
Nike’s own search results give the figure a second time from a different page: among 416 results in basketball shoes, the single KD19 entry is tagged “Just In” at $155.
Is the resale price higher or lower than retail?
Lower, by $8. On StockX the last completed sale was $147 and the cheapest current ask is also $147, against the $155 retail price StockX displays on the same page. StockX badges the listing as below retail, which is not a badge that appears often.
| Figure | Value |
|---|---|
| Retail | $155 |
| Last sale | $147 |
| Lowest ask | $147 |
| Highest bid | $60 |
| Released | 19 August 2026 |
The number that tells you the most is the last one before the date. That $60 is the highest standing bid — what you would be paid if you owned a pair and chose to sell instantly. It sits $87 below the asking price, and a spread that wide means buyers and sellers are nowhere near agreeing on what the shoe is worth.
Why is the resale price below retail?
Because there is nothing to resell around. Resale runs above retail when a shoe is hard to get: limited numbers, one drop, sizes gone in minutes. None of that applies here. The KD 19 came out on 19 August and Nike still has the full size run at full price five days later, so anyone who wants a pair can simply buy one.
When that is true, a resale listing has to compete with the shop rather than with other buyers, and $147 is what competing with a $155 shelf price looks like. The wide bid-ask spread is the same fact seen from the other side — sellers are asking near retail while buyers are not yet willing to go much above half of it.
Is the KD 19 Candy Paint Black still in stock?
Yes, in every size Nike lists. All 26 sizes on the product page were available, from M 3.5 / W 5 upward, with none marked sold out, no “Notify Me” substitution anywhere on the page, and a working Add to Bag.
Foot Locker also carries the shoe under SKU H1117002 at full price, though its search page does not show which sizes are left, so that half of the stock picture is unconfirmed.
Where can you buy the Nike KD 19 Candy Paint Black?
Three sellers were confirmed to have it: Nike, Foot Locker and StockX. Nike and Foot Locker are selling it new at retail; StockX is a resale marketplace where the price is set by whoever is listing a pair.
- Nike — $155, all 26 sizes, listed as KD19 “Black”
- Foot Locker — $155.00, listed as Stadium Green/Black
- StockX — $147 ask, listed as Candy Paint Black
Two other chains that would normally stock a Nike basketball release, Hibbett and DICK’s Sporting Goods, refuse automated requests outright, so this page cannot say either way whether they have it.
Should you buy from Nike or StockX?
The $8 saving on StockX is smaller than it looks, and probably smaller than its fees. StockX does not show its buyer fees until checkout, so the honest comparison stops at the two listed prices: $147 against $155. A processing fee and shipping on an $8 gap do not need to be large to close it.
Delivery is the other half. StockX quoted 27 August to 2 September on this listing with expedited shipping already applied — four to ten days out, because a resale pair has to reach StockX for authentication before it reaches you. Nike is shipping from its own stock.
Against that, buying at retail gets you a guaranteed size from a full run and a normal returns process. The case for StockX here is not price; it is if your size sells out at Nike and Foot Locker later.
What other KD 19 colorways are out?
At least six, and every one of them is $155. Foot Locker’s grid shows the full current run at a single price, with no colorway discounted below another.
| Colorway | SKU | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Stadium Green / Black | H1117002 | $155.00 |
| Butter Candy | H1117700 | $155.00 |
| Candy Paint Orange / University Gold | 41111780 | $155.00 |
| Hyper Pink / Stadium Green / University Gold | H1118600 | $155.00 |
| University Red / University Gold / Stadium Green | 41111760 | $155.00 |
| Purple | 41114750 | $155.00 |
StockX carries more names than Foot Locker does, including Bubble Gum Bounce, Blueberry Blast, Field Purple, Bright Ceramic and an EYBL Peach Jam player exclusive. Those are resale listings rather than shop stock, and no price for any of them was read for this page.
If you are shopping across the run, the style code remains the thing to check. Six Nike codes turned up for this model — IH1117-002, -400, -600, -700, -800 and IH1118-600 — and the names attached to them change depending on which shop you are standing in.
How we verified this
Every Nike and StockX figure here was read in a browser session pinned to the US locale, and that mattered. This page was researched from Taiwan, and a plain fetch of nike.com redirects to nike.com/tw/ and serves NT$ pricing. Both pages were therefore read in a session confirmed to be on the US site by counting currency markers before anything else: Nike’s product page carried 30 USD markers and no NT$, and the StockX product page carried 21 USD and no NT$. Nike offered to switch the site to Taiwan and the offer was declined.
⚠️ nike.com has a URL trap that a status-code check would walk straight into. A product URL with an invented style code — /t/kd19-black-basketball-shoes-zqaHv2aX/IH1117-999 — returns 200, because Nike silently drops the bad code and falls back to the base product page at /t/kd19-basketball-shoes-zqaHv2aX. Only the effective URL gives it away. An invented slug, by contrast, returns a genuine 404. StockX behaves properly in both directions: the real product page carries the style code in its title, and an invented slug returns a real 404 body without rewriting the URL.
✅ The claim that three sellers use three names for one shoe rests on the style code, not on the pictures. Nike’s page gives Style: IH1117-002 and Shown: Black/Stadium Green. StockX’s page title is “Nike KD 19 Candy Paint Black Men’s - IH1117-002 - US” and its colorway line also reads Black/Stadium Green. Foot Locker’s card carries SKU H1117002 — its convention is the Nike code with the leading letter dropped and the hyphen removed, which was confirmed on three of the six cards in the grid against style codes found independently on Nike’s site.
⚠️ StockX’s own two numbers do not quite agree, by one dollar. The page shows a $155 retail price and a $147 buy-now price, but badges the listing “$9 Below Retail Price” rather than $8. The two prices are quoted on this page and the badge’s subtraction is not, because there is no way to tell from the page which of the three figures is the rounded one.
🔴 No forecast is offered here, in either direction. Every resale figure is a single reading taken at one moment on 23 August. Resale prices move, sometimes within a day, and nothing on this page should be read as a claim about where this shoe’s price is heading.
⚠️ Four things could not be verified and no claim is made about any of them. Hibbett and DICK’s Sporting Goods both refuse plain fetches with a 403, so neither is described as stocking the shoe or not stocking it. GOAT could not be read at all and appears nowhere on this page. Foot Locker’s search page does not expose availability by size, so the in-stock claim covers Nike only. And StockX’s checkout fees are not shown before checkout, which is why the comparison below stops at the difference between the two listed prices rather than pretending to a total.
