NEW BALANCE x JADEN SMITH VISION RACER - 'TEAM AWAY GREY'
New Balance continues its partnership with Jaden Smith after releasing a variety of colorways and iterations of his popular Vision Racer silhouette. The Vision Racer takes inspiration from Jaden’s favourite NB models - the X-Racer and the 1700. The collaborative project continues this Summer 2021 Season, this time around in one of the most neutral iterations thus far. Tailing New Balance’s ‘Grey Day’ Pack, the exotic sneaker boasts a similar palette of mixed grey tones which compliment each other effortlessly on the upper.
The sneaker design is constructed from recycled polyester which is mixed with meshing for a sustainable and environmentally conscience design. The re-grinded midsole in white is formed with a repurposed foam that is complimented by an ice blue outsole. White lacing matches the midsole for a clean and contrasting look. Other features include hot pink Vision Racer Logos that sit in an oversized typography under the sole as well as on the insoles. The chunky styled shoe is also built with New Balance’s signature comfort and support on the heel.
