I got these to hoop in and love them! They have super good traction and feel really good on my feet especially because I’m flat footed. I now see why Maxey and Kawhi play in them.

Both Ohtani and New Balance prefer a "show, don't tell" approach, which has led to some lingering questions about the deal, his logo and collection, but NB gave us some insight into all of that and more:

Finally got my Action Bronson x New Balance 1906R Azul I purchased a couple weeks ago. Also I picked up the recently dropped Kith x New Balance 580 and 1500 celebrating Kith's new flagship store in Malibu.

There's been a ton of heat dropping this year, and a lot still left.
But the moment I unboxed these Action Bronson x New Balance 1906 'Rosewater' I knew they'd be on my top 10 list for the year — maybe even THE top (pending some wear testing).
Fun fact: Action has mentioned that this particular colorway was inspired by vintage women's sneakers that he always wanted but couldn't wear due to sizing.

Caught a shock restock of a pair of clean and simple New Balance 993s from a pack that designer Joe Freshgoods released with the brand in 2022. He's one of a handful of creatives credited with bringing renewed attention and excitement back to New Balance in the last few years – these pairs went like wildfire when they released.
Back during the original 2022 drop I added the pink pair to my collection, which is one of my all-time favorite New Balances. With this new pickup they're now sitting alongside the green pair. Still need the blue to complete the set (see second picture), but I'm pretty happy with these two for now.
