Rich Paul works on his own iteration of the 550-sneaker-4'>New Balance 550 sneaker model, resulting in the Forever Yours version that is meant to be a love letter to the game. The shoe was originally made as a basketball shoe and the latest iteration nods to its roots along with classic court apparel to follow.
All of the looks are set to launch online at New Balance tomorrow and are led by the sneaker model, which is adorned with mauve tones throughout and detailed with rich purple as the accents. The apparel features a graphic tee, hoodie, quarter zip jacket, shorts, track pants, and a camp collar shirt. The tonal palette remains and it is also accompanied by rose motifs.
