Kawhi’s minutes fluctuated throughout the rest of the shortened 2011-12 season but the small forward began to show glimpses of aggression that would propel him past being just a role player.
The early grind occurred while wearing the Nike Kobe 7 in Kawhi’s rookie year. The Kobe 7 was one of the first to feature multiple midsole options that you could drop in to appease your preference in Air or Zoom Air. Leonard stuck with the “Attack Fast” midsole, with Zoom Air that better meshed with his quickness.
You can find the Nike Kobe 7 at StockX, GOAT, Flight Club, and Stadium Goods.
