New Balance has once again partnered with NBA superstar Kawhi Leonard to release the highly anticipated KAWHI IV signature shoe. The latest iteration of the KAWHI line promises to elevate both performance and style, catering to the needs of basketball enthusiasts and sneaker aficionados alike.
The KAWHI IV boasts a sleek, modern design that seamlessly blends performance features with a sophisticated, lifestyle-influenced aesthetic. The shoe’s versatility allows it to transition effortlessly from the court to the street, making it a must-have for fans of Kawhi Leonard and New Balance alike.
Under the hood, the KAWHI IV is packed with innovative technologies designed to enhance Kawhi’s explosive two-way game. Energy Arc technology, which combines sport-specific carbon fiber plate geometry with strategic midsole voids, works in conjunction with FuelCell cushioning in the midsole to provide dynamic energy return on the court. This powerful combination keeps players performing at their best, game after game.

The low-top silhouette of the KAWHI IV features a lightweight mesh upper and synthetic overlays that provide the lateral support needed for quick cuts and explosive moves. The attention to detail in the design is evident as Kawhi worked closely with the New Balance team to ensure every aspect of the shoe met his exacting standards.
The first two colorways of the KAWHI IV, “Transcend Reality” and “Transcend the Game,” offer a glimpse into Kawhi’s unique personality and playing style. The vibrant “Transcend Reality” colorway is inspired by old-school video game graphics and pays homage to Kawhi’s steady, almost video game-like precision on the court. Meanwhile, the “Transcend the Game” colorway features a classic red, white and black color scheme, representing Kawhi’s timeless style that would dominate in any era.
With additional colorways set to launch throughout the rest of the season and into the summer, fans can look forward to more releases that showcase Kawhi’s unique story and personality.
The KAWHI IV was launch on Thursday, April 25 at www.newbalance.com, Dick’s Sporting Goods and other select retailers with a suggested retail price of $160.
