Kawhi Leonard indosserà New Balance all'All-Star Game

Vi avevamo già parlato della scelta da parte di New Balance di entrare a gamba tesa nel mondo del basket firmando l'MVP delle Finals 2014 e due volte NBA Defense Player of the Year (2014-2015, 2015-2016), Kawhi Leonard.
Fino ad adesso Kawhi aveva continuato ad indossare Jordan nelle gare con i suoi Toronto Raptors ma durante la "partita delle stelle" di domenica 17, per lui terza apparizione all'All-Star Game, sfoggerà finalmente la prima signature shoe del brand fondato a Boston nel 1906.

Kawhi. NB Hoops. We Got Now.

Sul suo profilo Twitter, New Balance ha lanciato la notizia con un video e queste sono le prime immagini della signature shoe di Kawhi in diverse colorway.

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.

Abbiamo visto Kawhi arrivare alle partite con ai piedi i modelli New Balance classici ma pare sia arrivato il momento per il brand del Massachusetts di far "squittire" le proprie scarpe da basket su un parquet NBA. E quale evento migliore se non l'All-Star Game 2019 di Charlotte dove gli occhi di tutti saranno sì puntati sui vari Curry, LeBron, Giannīs, etc. ma le sneaker indossate dai giocatori ricoprono un ruolo non certo di secondo piano, anzi, nel panorama comunicativo del weekend dedicato alle stelle basket d'oltreoceano.
