For our latest installment of Details, we look at this yearā€™s Joe Freshgoods New Balance 992. Originally released at All Star weekend, the first collaboration between Chicago-based artist Joe Freshgoods and New Balance set the tone for the brandā€™s momentous 2020.Ā 

Entitled ā€œNo Emotions Are Emotionsā€ the campaign was based around New Balanceā€™s top NBA signee, Kwahi Leonard of the Los Angeles Clippers, and his signature blank facial expressions. Despite the Valentineā€™s Day release date, the sneakerā€™s entirely red and pink pig suede uppers added the perfect juxtaposition for the collaboration. Hits of tan leather on the tongue bring contrast to the sneaker but continue to add to its luxe aesthetic.Ā 

Released in limited numbers and only at a pop-up shop in Chicago, the Joe Freshgoods New Balance 992 brings bold colors and materials to the classic ā€œdad shoeā€. Even though the sneaker flew off of shelves, you can find this coveted New Balance 992 on StockX.Ā
