While we’ve grown accustomed to New Balance’s collaborations bringing forth various color schemes and combinations, their newest partnership is a sleeker style for the athletic company. For their third release together, JJJJound and New Balance use their construction and style techniques to create a shoe full of ‘balance.’ Inspired by the idea of balance, the concept of the sneaker is to have a durable and stable design while still looking chic and fashion-forward. Just in time to round out the Fall/Winter 2024 collection, this new release brings a moodier take on an established New Balance silhouette. Although there are plenty of collaborations from New Balance, this partnership with JJJJound is unlike the others.
JJJJound x New Balance 2002R GORE-TEX

Crafted using all-black mesh and leather, this new design from JJJJound and New Balance is a darker and moodier side of the athletic brand than we are used to. While the entire shoe dons a black hue, there are hints of blue found around the heel where the 2002R branding is located. Tonal vamp overlays, rubber outsoles, and an N-ERGY midsole are some of the features that give the sneaker some of the classic New Balance look. Completed with toggle lacing, this sneaker is ready for just about anything. Inside, a waterproof lining helps protect against anything the winter season has prepared. Those keen to round out their winter lineup can purchase the 2002R GORE-TEX via JJJJound’s web store starting December 18 and New Balance on December 20. Made to withstand all of the winter elements, this JJJJound and New Balance release is another collaboration that seems to hit a perfect stride. Unlike recent sneakers full of lively and vibrant hues, this release is for those looking for a more versatile option with all the technical features you need.

This iconic chunky HOKA sneaker just got even chunkier

HOKA announces new sneaker

black new HOKA Bondi 9 chunky sneaker

While it seems HOKA’s athletic and lifestyle sneakers lineup can’t get any larger, the brand’s latest release proves that they are just getting started. Of the brand’s vast offerings, the Bondi collection is among the most recognizable and applauded. Made famous for their chunky soles and technical features, the Bondi lineup has plenty to choose from. In this release, HOKA is upgrading the classic silhouette. This new iteration involves adding significant volume to the already chunky design, making it a true statement moment for your closet. Although the design appears bigger, this Bondi shoe won’t lose any features you love.
The bigger and better HOKA Bondi 9

Looking to improve its performance, HOKA is looking to the Bondi 9 sneaker to elevate its offerings by ramping up its size. Adding two millimeters more height to the shoe, the new premium midsole adds bounce, cushion, and support to the design. Made with foamed EVA, smooth MetaRocker, rearfoot-focused Active Foot Frame, and a molded EVA sockliner, the midsole is unlike anything the brand has released yet. Completing the design is a 3D molded collar, extended heel pull, and reflective upper details. Although the chunkier midsole increases its appearance, users won’t have to worry about the extra weight. Compared to its predecessor, this new HOKA Bondi 9 is almost an ounce lighter. While this shoe isn’t expected to hit the shelves until January 2025, it has already been announced that it will come in six colorways and retail for $170. For those unafraid of a statement midsole or shoe, the new HOKA Bondi 9 is great for your athletic or lifestyle needs.

When it comes to creating emblematic collaborations, it always seems as if New Balance is involved. In their newest partnership, the athletic company is joining forces with CNCPTS to bring back another archival design into the modern age. Founded in 1996 in Massachusetts, CNCPTS is a creative company that has certainly added its flair to the retro sneaker. With many brands looking to previous designs for new ideas, brands need to add contemporary details to make the sneaker feel new. In this release, New Balance and CNCPTS creatively use color and materials to create a shoe that’s fun, new, and practical. Still maintaining the New Balance technical features, this collaborative sneaker is a bright addition that’ll lighten up your closet.
CNCPTS x New Balance 740 ‘Saignée’

Using New Balance’s 740 design, both brands have turned to Champagne making as the inspiration for their latest sneaker. Mimicking the idea of saignée, a bleeding process used by winemakers to achieve the desired tones in rose Champagne, the two brands have brought together cool and warm hues in one design. Although the inspiration is rare to find elsewhere, it’s one that’s demonstrated in the shoe’s details. The design uses open-knit mesh uppers, segmented midsoles, and a classic silhouette. The two-tone color mesh and angular overlays give the sneaker an extra touch of uniqueness. Fans of the sneaker can grab a pair via CNCPTS’ flagship stores in Boston, Miami, and New York City, and the brand’s web store on December 13th. A classic mixture of colors and materials, the New Balance 740 Saignée is a concept sneaker that still works for your day-to-day.
