New Balance taps into Kawhi Leonard's love for Jolly Ranchers with 'Blue Raspberry' sneaker colourway image

Halloween has been and gone, but the candy keeps coming!

Kawhi Leonard's latest edition of the 'New Balance Kawhi' sneaker takes inspiration from his favourite childhood candy — the Jolly Rancher, and following the release of the “Original Flavors”, New Balance is dropping a fresh colourway dubbed the “Blue Raspberry”

The Blue Raspberry's feature a teal/blue mesh upper, inspired by the Jolly Rancher candy of the same name, and a yellow panel around the ankle, making it one of the freshest colourways in the line.

The tongue puts a twist on the Jolly Rancher Fruit Gang, with the characters' faces all bearing a Kawhi-like deadpan expression, with his name emblazoned across the front and the #2 on the forefoot. 

The 'Original Flavors' colourway which dropped on October 31, right in time for Halloween, features a rainbow colour scheme, incorporating the Jolly Rancher wrappers and the candies themselves, helping Kawhi live up to his 'Fun guy' moniker.

The Blue Raspberry colourway is available online and in-store from Thursday, November 19 at Foot Locker in Australia and New Zealand.
