Kawhi Leoanard has been balling out this year with his 3rd seeded Clippers squad averaging 25 points and racking up six boards and five assists a game. Throughout this successful season, he’s been lacing up the New Balance KAWHI — his signature sneaker that is now adding a “Cloud Pink/UV Glo” colorway to its portfolio.The celebrations of Easter have passed, but the design execution of this particular installment speaks to the essence of the April holiday. Spring-friendly pastels are the focus, “Cloud Pink” being the most pronounced in this instance as it pours over the mesh underlays, synthetic toe boxes and curvy patterns that rest on the mid-foot. A fresh aqua blue spills onto the heel block, while a muted baby blue outfits the toe tip overlay. Additionally, small amounts of beige come into play by landing on the collars and triangular forefoot panels, and the tongues, laces and interior liners offset with black. KAWHI is spelled out on the tongues in a faint yellow hue. Below, the midsoles are treated with a light shade of periwinkle, while the outsoles bring everything together with a pink tint.The New Balance web store is gearing up to drop these soon for $160 USD.Previously, New Balance revealed its logo-less 574 “Un-N-Ding”.

With the PGA Tour set to tee off its AT&T Byron Nelson tournament in McKinney, Texas (just outside of Dallas) this week, Nike is nodding to classic Southern golf style and charm with seersucker-inspired takes on the Air Max 90 G and Air Zoom Infinity Tour. Both of these Nike Golf models are covered in patterns and rich in special accents, making for perfect warm-weather options to trek through the course — no matter what hemisphere you’re playing in.Each style is essentially a golf-ified take of an existing model: the Air Max 90 G is a bolstered version of Nike Sportswear’s Air Max 90 while the Air Zoom Infinity Tour is a remixed iteration of Nike Running’s React Infinity Run line. Both feature an upper adorned with white and light blue seersucker stripes, and add peachy pink accents in for contrast. Nike Golf branding graces each tongue, insoles boast a repeating palmetto print and the AM90 uses Air Max cushioning in its heel while the Air Zoom Infinity Tour opts for a full-length React footbed that houses springy Zoom pods. For a finishing touch, the Air Max 90 G uses a toothed outsole for grip while the Air Zoom Infinity Tour adds more traditional circular golf spikes to its translucent, striped outsole.The seersucker-coated Nike Air Max 90 G and Air Zoom Infinity Tour are both set to release via the Nike GB webstore in the coming weeks. The former is priced at $130 USD, the latter at $160 USD.For more news on golf footwear, take a look at the dapper Air Jordan 4 G “Sail/Apricot Agate.”

The relationship between Paul Rodriguez and Nike dates back when the pro skater was in his formative years as a pro skater in his teens, and the two are set to further build out their collaborative catalog with a new footwear team-up: the Nike SB Dunk Low “What the Paul”.For this newest joint effort, the Swoosh’s SB division calls upon the classic “What The” styling method and brings to light a myriad of P-Rod’s past sneaker projects. A variety of textures, patterns and colors are shown on this wild offering, some of which include a toe box that mimics the ‘06 P-Rod 1 “Stash”, elephant-printed eyestays and mudguards which are a homage to the 2005 Air Jordan 1-inspired P-Rod 1 “J-Rod,” and another toe box which translates the visual composition of the P-Rod 1 “Mexican Blanket”. The P-Rod 2’s quilted interior liners are adopted, and the lace treading’s color-blocking and lace dubraes are borrowed from his Mexico-inspired SB Dunk High collaboration that dropped in early 2020. Moreover, the gradient Swooshes are brought over from his P-Rod 2 “Playstation” colorway.If you want to cop these, Nike SNKRS has these officially dropping on May 24 via a draw for $150 USD.Elsewhere in footwear news, first images of Travis Scott’s Nike Air Max 1 collaboration have popped up.
