The Peppers have remained healthy for the new season, and after a brief adjustment after Harden joined, the Clippers have been singing all the way.
Leonard is a 75-star and two-time Defensive Player of the Year, a two-time championship winner and FMVP.
But when it comes to sneakers and commercial endorsements, there seems to be a mismatch for his status in the league.
It's been five years since I worked with New Balance, but most of the actual combat parties can't remember or distinguish Leonard's signature shoes.

Compared to the five years of clear soup and lack of water, the cooperation with Jordan Brand is obviously much more exciting.
He signed with Jordan Brand before his rookie season began in October 2011, and Jordan Brand chose not to renew his contract when his contract expired in 2018.
In his early days with the Raptors, Leonard also played the Air Jordan 32 PE for a while.
The Air Jordan 33 PE with Leonard's personal logo was also released.
A large part of the reason why New Balance's promotion has been limited is that Leonard is gone, and the logo is still on Nike.
The two sides went to court in 2019 for this matter, and in the end, Leonard lost the case, and Nike sealed the logo.

On the field, Leonard has many genuine Spurs PE colors, but none of them are commercially available.

Leonard's departure from Jordan Brand made this Leonard's only commercially available PE a swan song, and the price in the secondary market soared to more than 10,000 yuan.
Leonard's offensive and defensive integration is indeed strong enough, but his low-key and introverted personality and ability to carry goods are indeed average.
But Jordan Brand's excellent marketing integration ability has made fans remember the big hand logo.
Obviously, the new Leonard logo is not remembered, and New Balance has not launched an off-market shoe model, only a single signature shoe line.
The Kawhi 3 is currently available in two colorways, with a secondary market price of up to 1500+.
Recently, Leonard's fourth-generation sneaker, The Kahwi 4, was revealed, and the first colorway will be released in March.
The third generation hasn't started selling yet, and the fourth generation is coming, and the release timeline is completely out of order.
At the tongue of the shoe there is a new logo evolved from Leonard's jersey number 2, and the previous logo has not been remembered, but a new one is here.
The center of gravity seems to have improved compared to the previous generation of sneakers, and Leonard is expected to be on the foot of the All-Star Game.
With a chaotic release timeline and a new logo, only Leonard won the championship this year.
What do you think of Leonard's new signature shoes?
