Andrew Rizzo Three-way sneaker collaborations are usually anomalies, but New Balance, Invincible, and N.HOOLYWOOD have built up admirable catalog consisting of several projects throughout the years.
Continuing to work under the lifestyle wing after efforts on the New Balance 2002R and New Balance 1906R, the two Asian brands now extend shared influence over the New Balance 1906U, the utility-minded version of the expanding 1906 series. Sticking to a proven blueprint, the palette hones in on New Balance’s hallmark grey color while the materials and branding introduce signature features highlighted in past Invincible and N.HOOLYWOOD collaborations.
Detailed campaign images showcase a hairy suede toe which can be traced back to Invincible’s New Balance 574 from 2018, complemented by a ripstop tongue drawn from N.HOLLYWOOD’s New Balance 996 from 2019; a sensible addition to the outdoor-minded model.
The base layer sports a traditional grey color across mesh, leather, and synthetics, while the outermost elements opt for a slightly different, more dusty hue. Additional features include leather sock lining, an elastic quick lacing system, pull tabs on the heel, and much like past three-way efforts; debossed New Balance and 1906U branding on the lateral and medial sides of the toe, respectively.
The Invincible x N.HOOLYWOOD x New Balance 1906U “Grey Titan” is currently set to release on July 13th, although an MSRP and purchase channels have yet to be announced.
