Don’t blink, but Kawhi Leonard is on the verge of dropping his 4th signature sneaker with New Balance, the New Balance Kawhi 4. Being that the New Balance Kawhi 3 encountered quality issues (faulty lace eyelets) resulting in quickly removing them from shelves, we expect this latest Kawhi drop to be the best one yet since they’re looking to prove themselves once more.

Below you will find the New Balance Kawhi 4 in two different colorways. Our first look shows that the Kawhi 4 is given a sleek low-top design with an engineered mesh upper alongside TPU overlays creating a dynamic wavy pattern across the midfoot. New Balance branding appears alongside the top eyestay, while Kawhi’s personal logo is housed on the tongue. You will find more branding on the heels, spelling out “Kawhi,” while the vamp showcases the Roman numeral IV, representing the fourth in Leonard’s signature series. A classic cushioned midsole atop a durable rubber outsole is also in play. Regarding specific tech used on the kicks, we will share that info with you as soon as it is made public.

Retailing for $165, look for the New Balance Kawhi 4 to debut sometime during the Spring/Summer at select retailers and NewBalance.com.

UPDATE (1/29): Here is another look at Kawhi Leonard’s New Balance Kawhi 4 courtesy of BSTN. A release date has yet to be announced.
