Although many typically avoid wearing mismatched shoes, the newest collaboration between BEAMS and New Balance breaks that rule. For their latest partnership, the Japanese brand joins forces with the athletic label for a subtle yet impactful collaboration. Taking on one of New Balance’s latest retro reissues, BEAMS infuses a small twist that turns this sneaker from a monochromatic design into a bold choice. Mixing in 90s-era retro details, the new sneaker is a fun collaborative shoe that will take your collection to the next level. Infused with many materials, this sneaker is anything but plain and subtle.

BEAMS x New Balance 1000s

Donning a black monochromatic color palette, the collaborative New Balance 1000 is far more than a simple black sneaker. The New Balance 1000 offers its silhouette, which infuses some of the sneaker’s typical retro design. However, what makes this partnership unique is BEAMS’ usage of different sneaker materials to create a patchwork design. From mesh underlays to suede overlays and smooth leather details, the sneaker dons almost every material you typically find in New Balance’s lineup. While the left and right sneakers are the same stark black color, each sneaker offers a different patchwork design that makes a pair unique. Details like each sneaker’s slightly asymmetrical “N” logos offer a small twist. This collaboration is a unique assortment that gives a new meaning to a pair of sneakers. Those looking to get their hands on these New Balance 1000s will be able to pick one up starting April 10 at the BEAMS POP-UP in Los Angeles. Afterward, the design will be available via BEAMS’ website and select retailers.
