Known for their vast collaborations per year, it’s no shock to see New Balance join forces with another brand for the season. This time around, New Balance is reuniting with its long-term partner, Stone Island, for a nautical-inspired skate shoe that blends in perfectly for the summer and beyond. Stone Island and New Balance are no strangers to working together, having released a series of collaborations over the years, sometimes multiple times a year. In this new collaboration, the two brands have opted for a seasonally apt collection that includes more than an ideal everyday sneaker. Along with apparel and accessories, this collaboration delivers everything you need for the summer season.
Stone Island and New Balance remix the 272
Using the 272 model as a base for the collaboration, the new Stone Island and New Balance design makes for the perfect casual skate shoe. Available in three colors, yellow, blue, and white, this collection is an easy-to-wear shoe that has the right amount of comfort for everyday wear. Constructed with a light-reactive poly canvas upper with a touch of suede on top of an engineered outsole. The lateral “N” logo appears along the midfoot, while Stone Island branding is also included along the heels. Each pair comes packaged with a custom-branded dry bag and signal whistle. Those looking to grab their own pair will need a Stone Island Marina account and will need to sign up via a form on the site. The shoes will also be available via select Stone Island stores. All three pairs will retail for $190 each.
