New Balance's KAWHI 2 Shoes Get a Goosebumps Design Update

Kawhi Leonard and New Balance join forces once again on a new tonal update of the KAWHI 2 sneaker model for the season - the latest Goosebumps colorway prematurely prepares for Halloween. The mid-cut silhouette has vibrant green accents that are applied in associated with the October holiday.

The bold green is meant to represent the look of slime and it makes its way onto the collars, the tongue, and the interior lining section. Branding nodding to New Balance can be seen on the lower heel, the tongue, and the forefoot bold. There is a 'Kawhi' touch in a Goosebumps-themed font on the tongue as well. Rounding out the shoe is a dead tree graphic on the lateral heel.
