Bill-Inspired Basketball Sneakers

Kawhi Leonard Launches the New Money KAWHI 2 Sneakers

— February 20, 2022 — Lifestyle
Kawhi Leonard launches a new KAWHI 2 sneaker model with New Balance in a New Money colorway inspired by the American $100 dollar bill. This decorates the entire silhouette as the overall theme with the backside, sidewalls, and the toe boxes printed with the money pattern.

The toe boxes are slightly less visible than the rest due to the light gray layer made from synthetic materials that drape over them. The tongue also follows the same influence as it is stamped with '100' motifs. At the bottom, the heel molds are complete with a touch of contrast with the metallic gold at the exterior. It all sits on top of wavy midsoles done up in a muted gray.
