New Balance and two-time NBA champion, five-time NBA All-Star, and three-time All-NBA First Team player Kawhi Leonard announced the release of the latest KAWHI signature shoe: the Kawhi 3.
Made for athletes at the peak of their power, a trio of insights from Kawhi guided New Balance designers in developing the Kawhi 3: responsive, explosive, and lightweight. The Kawhi 3 was built to bring the creativity of Kawhi to life. Kawhi’s incomparable two-way game informed the shoe’s streamlined look, lightweight upper, and full-length FuelCell cushioning. The debut colorway, Alpha Predator, takes inspiration from Kawhi’s dominance on the court, similar to the apex predator who sits at the top of the food chain, allowing him to attack without fear of anyone getting in his way.
Highlighted with a lightweight textile and rich synthetic material construction, featuring a seamless half-bootie that connects directly to the tongue. The seamless method is also utilized at the heel with a molded adapt component that provides a more locked-in and stable fit. A full-length FuelCell cushioning system will return, combined with Energy Arc, that pairs a sport-specific carbon fiber plate geometry with strategic midsole voids, designed to increase stored energy to deliver a higher amount of total energy return.
“Working with the New Balance design team is always exciting,” said New Balance Athlete Kawhi Leonard. “The Kawhi 3 brings new technology that allows me to take my game to the next level, and that’s super important to me, and I am excited for other players to be able to experience it.”
You can expect the New Balance Kawhi 3 ‘Alpha Predator’ to release at select retailers and NewBalance.com on February 10th. The retail price is $160. Below, you can check out more photos that will give you a closer look.
Additional colorways will be launching throughout the season that taps into the mind of Kawhi, such as Recharged Chakra, Multi-Dimensional, Sacred Geometry, and even one that pulls from New Balance’s iconic color.
