Bricks & Wood x New Balance Drop ‘A Different Bounce’ Collection for NBA All-Star 2025
Bricks & Wood has teamed up with New Balance again for a new collection, ‘A Different Bounce,’ set to launch during NBA All-Star 2025. Bricks & Wood takes a big leap with this collection, marking their first-ever collaboration focused on basketball performance shoes with New Balance. The collab showcases two models: the Fresh Foam BB v3 and the New Balance 1000.
A Closer Look at the Bricks & Woods x New Balance ‘A Different Bounce’ Collection…
The Fresh Foam BB v3 is the star of the show for on-court play, designed with basketball performance in mind. It features a bold yellow upper with black and silver accents, making a statement while maintaining the technology and comfort New Balance is known for.
The New Balance 1000, on the other hand, takes a more lifestyle approach. The model blends black and yellow with reflective black overlays, a nod to the lifestyle and off-court culture of basketball. This version represents the way basketball culture permeates everyday life, from the court to the streets. It’s a more casual option compared to the BB v3, but still carries that bold, reflective finish.
Kacey Lynch, the founder of Bricks & Wood, has been working with New Balance since 2021, and this collection is a natural evolution of their past collaborations. Previous projects like the 1906U and 9060 had a focus on vibrant, artistic expressions, and the new collection continues that tradition but with a basketball twist.
For the campaign, Bricks & Wood teamed up with artist Davion Cervantes, adding a personal touch to the collaboration, as he is a childhood friend of Kacey and shares a deep connection with the basketball culture that the collection represents.
The ‘A Different Bounce’ collection will debut on FEBRUARY 14, 2025, exclusively in San Francisco for NBA All-Star Weekend. A wider release will follow, so keep an eye out for the drop on The Drop Date release calendar.
