# Collaborative Fashion-Forward Sneakers Miu Miu and New Balance Join Forces on the Tyre Sneaker By Amy Duong | Published 2024-12-13 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tyre References: [ssense](https://www.ssense.com/en-ca/women?q=miu%20miu%20New%20Balance)  Fashion house Miu Miu works in collaboration with New Balance as the two present the new Tyre sneaker model. Visually, it has some similarities to the collaborative 520 SL sneaker by the two -- it shares the same curved toe unit and rests on top of the same tan midsole unit. The Tyre sneaker is not as flat and it also has a stronger focus on the fashion house when it comes to branding. The new Tyre model is made with inspiration from the look and dynamics of an actual tire. It can be seen in the bottoms of the shoe at the rubber sole unit foundation and the overall streamlined construction of the rest of the shoe.
