Nearly a year after engaging in a legal back-and-forth against his former sponsor, Nike, Kawhi Leonard has unfortunately lost the court case for rights to his iconic ‘Klaw’ logo, per TMZ.
Leonard, of course, spent seven years as a Nike/Jordan Brand athlete, from 2011-2018, during which time the ‘Klaw’ logo originated. The logo appeared on various player-exclusive shoes and other Nike merchandise that Kawhi wore in his time with the Spurs. However, as malcontent began to develop with the superstar’s situation in San Antonio, he also took that opportunity to seek a more lucrative relationship on the endorsement side of things.
