We know you all remember Kawhi Leonard's jaw-dropping four-bounce bucket against the Philadelphia 76ers that propelled the Raptors to the Eastern Conference Finals last year and, ultimately, the NBA championship.

Well, now you can wear that memory everywhere you go. New Balance has just released a pair of signature Kawhi Leonard shoes as a tribute to the iconic moment.

The sneakers, aptly named "4 Bounces," come in blue, gold, and black, which is a nod to the New Balance OMN1S "2-Ways" that Leonard was wearing when he sunk the shot, according to the NBA website.

There's also an M on the back of the heel of the shoe, as a tribute to Leonard's hometown of Moreno Valley in California. Other nods to Kawhi include "braid-inspired stitching, resume-repping tongue, and eyelets based on the tail lights from his classic ride," according to the New Balance website.

The shoes were just released this week and right now, they're totally sold out on newbalance.ca. When they come back in stock, they'll run you $209.99 at retail price.
