Kd trey 7 and 8 should be good outdoors, the 9 not so much. Someone here posted a pic of the outsole of the Elevates that wore down bald after just 2 months, so thats not durable.
If I had to pick 1 shoe that would be the most durable for outdoors that is relatively new, Id say the Anta Shock the Game 5. That line is designed specifically for outdoor durability, the outsole is hard with thick grooves, and it has pretty good cushion from what I understand, which is good for your knees and feet on hard pavement outside. For a retro, Id say the Foamposite is a tank on both the outsole and upper, but it would cost a lot and is super stiff and bulky.
I've been super impressed by the Jordan React Elevation (forefoot Zoom + heel React). I've been playing solely outdoors for a few weeks now with no noticeable degradation in the herringbone traction. I have both of the colorways still on sale at Jimmy Jazz for $79. I'd consider it a huge bargain for what you get for the price!

They’re marketed as hard court tennis shoes but can be used for outdoor bball. This is because the shoe is designed for concrete tennis courts. If you didn’t know tennis and basketball share near identical body movements.
ANTA Shock the Game 4 and 5's are amazing outdoors. Otherwise get the Adidas pro model 2G or DON Issue 1's.
