Ball and Buck x New Balance

It only makes sense that two companies from ‘America’s Walking City’ would pair up to make one helluva good looking sneaker.

Boston based Ball and Buck, an all American company, proudly making everything Stateside or working with American businesses, partnered with fellow Bostonian, New Balance for a limited edition kick. The US 574 in mountain green with Ball and Buck’s proprietary camo in 10oz duck cloth and pops of orange on the heel and footbed is already causing fans to lick their chops. The first collection sold out in one minute.

We wanted to know more about their personal camo so we spoke to owner Mark Bollman who told us, “As an avid duck hunter I have always been around camouflage so when it was time to create a camo for Ball and Buck I knew exactly where to look.  With such a variety of different camouflage patterns over the years it was my goal to design a pattern that spoke to the heritage elements of Ball and Buck.”

He continued, “ We crafted a design based on the camo that was used during WWII and adapted it to the colors of the wetlands which are primarily browns.  Working with a local artist the design was created and I headed to Tennessee to work with the printing house to ensure the colors were just right.  After a full day at the printer we had the finished product that would be come a staple part of the Ball and Buck brand alongside the blaze hunter orange, antique brass, waxed cottons, and full grain leathers.”

If you do miss out on these kicks then you can always get the t-shirt, made in the USA of course.

Taking inspiration from the summer sky, New Balance’s newest sneaker is all about tonal blues. As part of New Balance’s MADE in UK line, the latest release from the athletic brand takes on the soft shade of blue for a new look that can almost pass for a denim material. While many brands have already managed to use denim to create unique footwear designs, this option from New Balance is a bit more versatile and stylish than the rest. Set to hit later this month, this New Balance sneaker is much closer to their traditional color palettes, rather than their latest series of neon and vibrant hues. While made for the peak summer season, the newest baby blue shoe is a year-round nab.

Although it might seem like a collaboration with a particular soft drink, New Balance’s latest 9060 sneaker is an in-house project that exudes color. Similar to the recently announced ‘Cyber Jade,’ the new sneaker from the athletic company is a bold composition of color far from its typical neutrals and monochromatic color palettes. A far cry from last month’s ‘Grey Days,’ the New Balance 9060 has been reworked to incorporate colors and hues that make it feel like a true summer sneaker.

While its official release is still to be announced, this version of the New Balance 9060 is only part of the releases the brand has planned for the model this year. Although this might be the brand’s most colorful version thus far, it doesn’t mean it’s any less of a performance sneaker than its predecessors. A vibrant pop to add to your wardrobe, get ready for one of New Balance’s most statement sneakers of 2025.

Along with New Balance, the singer is heading into a new journey that has taken him to create a new indoor soccer-inspired sneaker. In recent seasons, the indoor soccer shoe has become the base of many new releases, with brands like Adidas and Nike taking to their archives for inspiration from some of their iconic soccer sneakers. Along with the trend, this latest sneaker takes inspiration from Harlow’s time as a high school soccer player in his native Louisville, Kentucky. While the only confirmation of the trend comes from Harlow’s social media, there’s no doubt that its release will make major waves among fans and beyond.
