Kawhi Leonard and New Balance are throwing it back to last year's NBA playoffs with the first colorway of his signature shoe.

Releasing Thursday, the Kawhi "4 Bounces" celebrates Leonard's historic buzzer-beater in Game 7 of the 2019 Eastern Conference semifinals between the Toronto Raptors and Philadelphia 76ers.

The shoe, which retails for $160, features Leonard's accolades on the tongue, eyelets resembling his 1964 classic car, and the latitude and longitude coordinates of his hometown of Moreno Valley, California. The black-and-blue colorway is a nod to the New Balance OMN1S sneakers Leonard was wearing when he hit the game-winning shot.
