Kawhi Leonard’s New Balance KAWHI 2 Revisits Spurs Colors

Before signing a massive deal with the Clippers and hitting clutch shots for the Toronto Raptors, Kawhi Leonard and his legend of the Klaw was bred in San Antonio. Under the tutelage of Gregg Popovich and learning from all-time legends such as Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobili, Kawhi Leonard molded himself into the one of the 75 greatest players in NBA history by the age of 30. As the marquee athlete in the New Balance Hoops roster, Kawhi is also enjoying that rare distinction of signature athlete, and this upcoming colorway of the KAWHI 2 ostensibly recalls his earliest years in the league.

Dubbed the “Blur” colorway, this New Balance KAWHI 2 features a simple and stoic white/black colorway, broken up only by the blips and waves seen at the mid-foot window. A gradient from a light ashy grey to a black suggests a blurry effect indeed, feeding to the official concept behind this rather bland colorway. Still, KAWHI 2s are among the top picks for hoopers, so those we prefer the charming drab of New Balance will have no problem with this colorway.

A US release date isn’t confirmed, but retailers in Europe (listed below) will have them ready on April 1st (subject to change).
