Kawhi Leonard’s fifth New Balance signature shoe gets a sky blue mesh upper for its upcoming “Oxford Blue” release. The Kawhi 5 stays within that palette from top to bottom, though a darker TPU support structure gives the upper some separation between its layers.

That darker blue wraps around the toe before running up to the eyestays and across the side panels. Mesh remains visible between those sections, with a reflective N logo placed on the lateral side. The branding adds a different finish to an upper otherwise defined by its two shades of blue.

FuelCell cushioning sits underfoot, paired with an icy blue translucent outsole that carries the colorway through the bottom of the shoe.

The New Balance Kawhi 5 “Oxford Blue” releases November 13, 2026, for $160 in unisex sizing. It will be available through New Balance and select retailers, both online and in-store.
