Sky-Inspired Gradient Sneakers

Lorenz.OG and New Balance Create the 860v2 in a Dusk Colorway

New Balance works together with renowned designer Lorenz.OG to launch a new tonal iteration of the 860v2 sneaker model with the launch of the Dusk colorway palette. The designer is recognized for his work on PATENTED COLORSCHEMES projects, garnering a strong following with his unique creations often dyed by hand.

The latest brings attention to a gradient colorway that is inspired by the look of London's evening skies. The palette shines a spotlight on his expertise as the gradient hues adorn the retro silhouette. It features a mismatched design that transitions from deep purple at the heel going int bright pink and orange and yellow at the upper made from mesh materials. Silver details the overlays to round it all out.
