Kawhi Leonard's new shoe with New Balance has officially been unveiled. Kawhi may not have returned to the court yet from his ACL tear, but his shoes have.

Jack Harlow debuted Kawhi's new shoe during the celebrity All-Star game on Friday night. Here's a photo of Harlow in the shoes:

It has a new lightweight design and will officially release on March 19, 2022, for $160.

The Kawhi 1's were officially released in August 2020, with the sequel pair coming out just around two years later. It's been over a three-year partnership thus far between Leonard and New Balance, beginning in November 2018. Since then, the duo has released iconic shirts and commercials that perfectly fit Leonard's personality.

In terms of when Kawhi Leonard will return, that remains to be a bit of a mystery. There's a chance that fans may see Kawhi lace up in these shoes within this season, but there's also a decent chance that they won't. Leonard has been ahead of schedule with his rehab, but it's always been a situation where the Clippers would prefer sitting him out for the rest of the season. If Paul George's MRI does not come back clean after February 24 and the Clippers don't have optimistic playoff chances, it would be a very safe assumption to say you won't see Kawhi Leonard lace up in the KAWHI 2s this season.
