After months of teasing and waiting, the long-awaited collaboration between South Korean-based thisisneverthat and the athletic company New Balance is finally here. With a head-to-toe Y2K look, the retro collaborative sneaker from the duo is a significant nod to the stylish era. With retro sneakers taking over the trends, the pair couldn’t resist creating a new sneaker that delivers a retro-futuristic look for a new generation. Using clean lines and an iconic silhouette, the sneaker is a traditional 2000s sneaker that includes bold pops of color. While not everyone enjoys retro fads, this sneaker pulls together some of the best Y2K details for one modern look. As with most of New Balance’s recent collaborations, there’s no doubt this launch will mark the beginning of many stylish designs.

With the New Balance 1000 silhouette serving as the base, this new design sees this retro sneaker get a few Y2K-inspired upgrades. The shoe strongly resembles the early 2000s sneakers that took over the trends using white mesh upper construction and metallic silver overlays. The pair has also opted for bold orange accents to highlight the shoe’s cobranding details, adding a pop of color. The accent color is also used throughout the sneaker on the eyelets and in parts of the midsole. Finishing the bottom section of the shoe is a white midsole and black rubber outsole. While the sneaker is already available via thisisneverthat’s website, the shoe will see a global release on New Balance’s web store on March 7. Crafted with nostalgic colors and construction, this sneaker is the ultimate retro-inspired footwear option to accent your athleisure looks.

Singer Jack Harlow may be dominating the stage as of late, but he’s also ready to take on the design world. 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.

While May was all about New Balance’s ‘Grey Days’ celebration, June is shaping into a more eccentric and colorful month. Last month, the athletic company celebrated its traditional hue with a month-long celebration of pop-ups, new releases, and one-of-a-kind surprises. However, New Balance has announced its latest release to start a new chapter, which is the complete opposite of their last celebration. Aptly named ‘Cyber Jade,’ the newest shoe is an eccentric color combination that ditches the subtle grey for brilliant, bright, and bold hues. Taking on one of the brand’s most iconic and traditional silhouettes, New Balance quickly ditches the classic grey, showcasing a firm grasp of all the colors, and isn’t afraid to use them.
