Revived Collaborative Running Shoes

Joe Freshgoods Joins New Balance on the 1000 Sneaker Collab

— April 10, 2024 — Fashion
Joe Freshgoods unveils its latest design and it is a collaboration 1000 sneaker model with New Balance. The revived running shoe is brought back from the late 90s and it is defined by its retro aesthetics. The sneakers come in two colorway palettes -- Black Ice or Pink Mint. Both of these are detailed with metallic overlays for a captivating finish. Additionally, it is supported by a mesh base for a seamless and breathable feel.

Joe Freshgoods notes in its Instagram post with the nostalgic images, stating "When I think about the time when things were pure, I'm constantly placed back to the early 2000s when the social environment of the basement party was peak LIFE for me and my friends. Inspired by half a days, the pink house on central, burning CDs, using the family computer, Wala Cam, pep rallies, and more."
