Kawhi Leonard will wear New Balance shoes at the All-Star Game

We had already talked about the choice by New Balance to enter in the basketball world by signing the 2014 Finals MVP and twice NBA Defense Player of the Year (2014-2015, 2015-2016), Kawhi Leonard.
Kawhi has continued to wear Jordan in the game with his Toronto Raptors but during the "match of the stars" on Sunday 17th, for him third appearance at the All-Star Game, will finally show off the first signature shoe of the brand founded in Boston in 1906.

Kawhi. NB Hoops. We Got Now.

On its twitter profile, New Balance announced the news with a video and this are the first images of the Kawhi's signature shoes.

Collaborated with Kawhi on 6 PEs of the OMN1S. We wanted people to vote for the debut at #NBAAllStar. But Kawhi wears whatever color he wants.

We have seen Kawhi arrive at the games with the feet of the New Balance classic models but it seems that the time has come for the Massachusetts brand to "squeak" their basketball shoes on an NBA court. And what better event than the All-Star Game 2019 in Charlotte where everyone's eyes will be focused on the various Curry, LeBron, Giannīs, etc. but the sneakers worn by the players play a role that is certainly not of secondary importance, in the communication of the weekend dedicated to the basketball stars.
