The San Francisco 49ers took care of business in their first home game of the season on Sunday. The 49ers not only defeated the Seattle Seahawks 27-7, but several stars showed up at Levi’s Stadium despite the abysmal weather conditions.
Before the game, NFL legend Jerry Rice was seen shaking hands with NBA All-Star Kawhi Leonard. The Los Angeles Clippers forward unexpectedly made headlines for his fashion choices.
Kawhi Leonard’s outfit
As you can see in the video tweeted above, Leonard wears a relaxed outfit, as he has been known to do. The 6’7″ forward wore matching blue sweatpants with his hoodie, a gray padded jacket, and shoes that looked aged.
Surprisingly, the latest fashion trends benefit Leonard. The mix of comfortable fits paired with “daddy’s shoes” is slowly turning the soft-spoken star into a fashion icon. Below is everything fans need to know about Leonard’s lifestyle shoes.

The designers of the shoe deliberately opted for an aged aesthetic. Open cell mesh upper features faded details. Despite its appearance, the previously yellowed midsole offers ample cushioning.
Other options
These shoes are not to be confused with Leonard’s performance basketball shoe, the New Balance KAWHI II. Fans can find those hoop shoes on New Balance’s website for $159.99 in men’s sizes.
Fans who want to copy Leonard’s laid-back style can easily find similar pairs of New Balance lifestyle shoes at a much lower price. We suggest you purchase other colorways of the 1906R or any of the various models that New Balance regularly produces.
