According to Foot Locker’s release calendar, the light blue New Balance Kawhi V is scheduled to release on Friday, 20th November 2026. It has listed the blue/silver pair for $160 only. The release time set for this is 10:00 ET.
Kawhi as creative director
New Balance introduced the Kawhi V on 8th April, 2026, which is the next sneaker in Kawhi Leonard’s signature line. New Balance has named Kawhi Leonard, a basketball player, as the creative director of the Kawhi V campaign itself. Leonard says that he wants this particular model to highlight the first steps, the first burst that a player feels on the court. New Balance wants to connect the story of the sneakers with Kawhi Leonard’s nickname.
Built for the first step
The colorway of this sneaker is all-over light blue complemented by a metallic silver N and a translucent icy outsole as seen in the product image. However, Foot Locker also lists a navy Kawhi V in a blue/silver colorway under product code UKLS9Q8. This is a different pair and hence should not be confused with the light blue version featured in this article.
How to get a pair
Foot Locker is going to drop this masterpiece on 20th November, 2026 exactly at 10:00 ET at a price of $160 and will be available in men’s sizes. New Balance announced in April that the Kawhi V will be available on its official website, NewBalance.com. It will also be available at select retail stores.
