Ah, the magic of the 90s. The era during which hip-hop became the best-selling genre and the sneaker industry was on the rise! And well, it’s obviously a life-changing time for many, including Joe Freshgoods. And being the creative he is, he created a collection that draws inspiration from that era! So, now we’ll check out the Joe Freshgoods New Balance 990v4 ‘1998’ collection. But one thing you should know is that if you love the vibes of the 90s, this collection is for you!
In the last couple of years, we witnessed the rise of New Balance as a solid brand on the market. While it was already a good brand for the daily sneaker users who don’t care about hype, it went beyond that. Thanks to the awesome collabs that they pulled off with different brands and designers, they came in strong! But one collaborator stands out when it comes to putting NB on the hype map: Joe Freshgoods. And if you wanna check out the history of his New Balance collabs, check this out.
The designer, artist, and all-around creative mind certainly left a mark in the sneaker industry. And now, he comes back with the Joe Freshgoods New Balance 990v4 collection! According to Freshgoods, the collection draws inspiration from the late 90s. And when we say the late 90s, we mean Hip Hop, cinematography, and magazines of the era! So naturally, this whole capsule is all about storytelling. Now, this collection will include three New Balance 990v4 colorways and matching apparel.
So, the three Joe Freshgoods New Balance 990v4 colorways are white, black, and blue, and their names are ‘Intro’, ‘Outro’, and ‘Keisha Blue’ respectively. These babies all feature the same details: a mesh base with suede and leather overlays. The white pair features black details, the black one has white details, and the blue pair is all blue. Oh, and these three colorways are a direct nod to the 1998 movie Belly.
Wanna get your hands on any of these kicks? Well, you’re in luck, because the raffle for the kicks is open on Joe Freshgood’s website. It will remain open until December 15, 2023. And if you’re one of the lucky winners, you’ll be able to pick up or order a pair for $220 on December 16, 2023! On the same day, the apparel collection will drop, so you can get matching items with your kicks.
