New Balance KAWHI IV Wave Arrives in Clippers Colors

Inspired by the Clippers’ City Edition uniforms, the KAWHI IV Wave combines playoff-ready tech with water-themed design cues

New Balance has introduced the KAWHI IV Wave, the newest colorway in Kawhi Leonard’s signature line, released on April 25 for $159.99. As playoff intensity builds, the Wave arrives with a palette that connects directly to Leonard’s team. Inspired by the Clippers’ City Edition uniforms, the shoe features a bright blue base, contrasted by hits of orange, black, and white. A water droplet motif on the lateral side reinforces the Wave theme, while Leonard’s jersey number appears stitched on the tongue.

Built for elite-level performance, the KAWHI IV continues to evolve technically. The shoe uses New Balance’s FuelCell midsole, developed to maximize responsiveness, paired with an exposed carbon fiber plate. Together, they produce a high-energy return designed for quick bursts and vertical agility. The plate is part of the brand’s Energy Arc system, which works with midsole voids to improve propulsion through stored energy. The dual-density setup gives players more bounce while maintaining control during dynamic movement.

The upper relies on engineered mesh for breathability, layered with synthetic overlays to reinforce lateral stability. This construction gives athletes the structure to cut, pivot, and accelerate without compromise. A molded TPU heel cage keeps the foot locked in place, while cable loop speed lacing streamlines fit adjustments mid-game. The low-top design enhances ankle mobility, a key request for guards and forwards seeking fluid footwork.

New Balance packages the Wave edition with custom graphics referencing wormholes, extending the sci-fi aesthetic introduced in earlier KAWHI IV drops. Though visual elements shift with each edition, the performance tools remain consistent, making the line one of the more technically advanced on the market. The Wave’s light blue upper also sets it apart from previous iterations, reinforcing its direct connection to team identity and playoff season energy.

The release marks the fourth chapter in Leonard’s footwear partnership with New Balance, which began in 2019. Known for a quiet intensity and measured style, Leonard’s signature models have avoided hype-driven gimmicks in favor of tested functionality. The KAWHI IV Wave follows that path, designed to meet the expectations of professional-level athletes without sacrificing style. Every detail – from the energy return system to the water-inspired visuals – reflects Leonard’s exacting influence.

With the KAWHI IV Wave, New Balance adds another high-performance option for players during the most competitive time of the season. Whether worn in practice or under the lights of a playoff game, the shoe delivers on speed, grip, and stability.
