New Balance and Joshua Vides have a new sneaker collection coming soon, and fans won’t need to wait too long before they can get their hands on a pair.
The L.A.-based designer announced on Instagram that he has teamed up with the Boston-based athletic brand to deliver a new iteration of the New Balance 327 and 57/40 shoes before the week’s end.
Vides also previewed his New Balance collabs by sharing a series of images of the shoes on the social media platform. The collaborative 57/40 wears a sail-based color scheme that’s contrasted with black outlines throughout the entirety of the silhouette designed to give off a cartoon-like effect. Co-branding makes an appearance on both the tongue tag and the footbed. Rounding out the look are white and sail-colored paint splatters covering the foam midsole along with a rubber gum outsole.
Rounding out the collection is a special iteration of the New Balance 327. Unlike the aforementioned look, this version of the lifestyle shoe wears a stealthy black-based makeup combined with white paint splatters throughout the premium leather upper. Co-branding is once again seen on both the tongue and insoles, along with sail shoelaces and midsole while a gum outsole sits underneath.
