A long awaited sneaker collaboration is releasing this week. New Balance has embraced collaborations for the past few years and long time NB fan, rapper and personality, Action Bronson, is finally getting his turn at teaming up with the heralded sneaker brand. What makes this release even more notable is the sneaker model chosen. This is the first official collab for NB's recently release 990V6, the latest iteration in there "Made In USA" 990 line. In fact, it's only the second colorway of the 990V6 to be released.
Action has a long history of influence in fashion, music, and food. He has an infectious personality and has been the host of various series, the most popular being F*ck, That's Delicious. This shoe really reflects his essence in my opinion and many some already deemed the Baklava the sneaker of the year. There's a lot going on with this shoe but not too much. The shoe paints a picture and while there are various interpretations of the colorway, I think it's meant to resemble the earth from the sole up. I'm personally a big fan of these and I'm really eager to get my hands on a pair.
You can purchase at specializinginlife.com this Friday, March 17th and on New Balance's website on March 24th.
Something to note: this shoe will is just the start of the relationship between Action and NB as he has already teased two other colorways of the 990V6. A clothing line is set to release with the "Baklava" as well, but details on that are rather sparse.
