Athlete-Specific Sneakers

These Customized Sneakers Were Designed for Trayvon Bromell

These customized shoes were designed for the American track and field sprinter Trayvon Bromell.

The sneakers were created by New Balance after the record-breaking athlete became the first high school student to run 100 meters in fewer than 10 seconds. Before the athlete's journey to the Olympics, New Balance designed these customized shoes that were created to optimize the running experience in a way that was comfortable for him. The shoes are themed black, gold, yellow and white and were transported in shoe boxes that were made from acrylic for an unusual, transparent design.

These custom sneakers celebrate the hard work that Trayvon Bromell embodies and are designed with both style and performance in mind.
