Here’s one thing we know for sure: If you steal from Kawhi Leonard, he will just swipe everything you took right back.
The NBA’s back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year is the real deal on the court. So, it’s only natural he wants his fans to get the real stuff off it, too.
Leonard was apparently pretty sick of people knocking off his ‘Klaw’ logos. So, he decided to go in the same direction as the Olsen twins: He’s going to make money on his apparel line.

Here’s the pertinent Leonard quote from the press release:
“I’m excited to be able to offer this custom line to our fans,” said Leonard. “After seeing the logo on knockoff merchandise, I thought it would be nice if our fans could get something real and 100 percent authentic, directly from me and the brand.”
So, this means Leonard’s clothing is easier to replicate than his defense.
Leonard’s new apparel line will be in Jordan Brand stores and NIKETOWNs across the country.
