Neutral Collaborative Lifestyle Sneakers

Slam Jam Joins NB on the Too New to Preview 991 Shoes

— October 3, 2023 — Fashion
New Balance presents a look at the latest 'Too New to Preview' sneaker model that was done alongside Slam Jam. The two have worked together before back in 2021 and are joining forces once again on a neutral sneaker model. This is presented after a mysterious billboard was shown with a loading symbol as the main motif showcasing both brands' logos -- this appeared in Milan.

At the bottom read 'Too New to Preview' and the fine print notes that a joint 991v2 sneaker is coming. It's speculated that the sneakers will be landing officially on October 13th. Visually, the shoes have a grey tonal palette and are then detailed with turquoise along the midsole for contrast.
