PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, Md. (WJZ)--NBA all-star Kevin Durant's new sneakers are upsetting some in Maryland.

The new Nike sneakers are called "PG County," in honor of his hometown of Seat Pleasant.

But some people in Prince George's County say the initials are disrespectful and they want the full county name to be used.

County officials even reached out to Nike.
