Ever since their inaugural 990v3 offering back in 2018, JJJJound x New Balance have made a name as a dynamic collaborating alliance to watch out for. From the monochrome 990v4 to the more recently released 2002R, the duo know exactly how to continue raising the bar, leading us to their latest venture. For the first time ever, they’re going GORE-TEX. With winter in full swing, along with all of its wonderful weather conditions, there’s never been a better time to rock waterproof kicks. Releasing across two palettes of grey and green, weather-equipped sneakers have never looked better. Let’s look at the details!
As with most collaborations between the Canadian label and footwear powerhouse, minimalism never goes amiss. So of course, this GORE-TEX capsule is certainly no exception. Composed of a sleek fusion of leather, suede and mesh, the silhouette boasts a lifestyle flair with a technical edge. A black hue predominantly floods the base, outer, ‘N’ emblem and other core design elements, shining the spotlight on the supple overlays. It’s here where the Light Grey and Green tones take centre stage, accentuating a refined and uncluttered appeal.
Reflective accents throughout the exterior, as well as within the hiking-style laces, implements a trail-ready steez complimentary to the waterproof nature. Elevating your ‘fit whether rain or shine, this collaborative drop is just another banger to add to the duo’s long, long of collaborative hits.
The JJJJound x New Balance 2002R Gore-Tex Pack arrives 21ST FEBRUARY ’24. For all stockists and secondary sellers, see the banner below!
