Kawhi Leonard has been quietly wearing his next signature shoe on the court for quite some time, but New Balance has now officially unveiled the model dubbed the Kawhi 4.
Leading off the releases of the New Balance Kawhi 4 are the "Transcend Reality" and "Transcend the Game" colorways, pictured here. According to the Boston-based sportswear brand, the Los Angeles Clippers star forward worked closely with designers to ensure refinements were applied from his previous model to the latest silhouette.
The Kawhi 4 features a breathable mesh upper paired with synthetic overlays and a rounded heel counter for support. Sitting underneath the foot is the brand's signature Energy Arc tech and FuelCell cushioning in the midsole for responsiveness.
"Working with Kawhi on the Kawhi 4 has been incredible and I am excited to get this model out to consumers," said Austin Jermacans, the senior product designer for New Balance Basketball. "The Kawhi 4 is crafted with the latest New Balance technology to support Kawhi’s aggressive play and will help elevate any player’s game. When designing with Kawhi this time we explored the idea of transcendence, and that theme will continue through the colorways of the Kawhi 4."
Readers can cop the first two New Balance Kawhi 4 colorways starting on April 25 at Newbalance.com and at select retailers for $160 each.
