After news hit last month that Joe Freshgoods and New Balance are collaborating on another retro silhouette, we're now getting a closer look at their 1000 collab.
Newly leaked images from @woganwodeyang on Instagram show that the upcoming Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 1000 is equipped with a stealthy black mesh upper combined with iridescent leather overlay panels on the sides. The quick look at the shoe also reveals "JFG" branding embroidered on the toebox, with additional "JFG" hits appearing on the heel and insole. The sneaker is expected to feature an Absorb midsole underneath.
The Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 1000 was teased at a New Balance party in Paris last month, where posters of the sneaker were placed in the venue. The posters confirmed that the collab will launch sometime this year.
As of now, a concrete release date for the Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 1000 collab has yet to be announced by either of the parties.
UPDATE (03/04): Joe Freshgoods has officially unveiled his upcoming New Balance 1000 collabs, which include the "Black Ice" colorway and the previously unseen "Pink Mink" makeup. According to the designer, the sneakers will launch sometime in April, but a concrete date has yet to be announced.
UPDATE (04/05): Just moments ago, Joe Freshgoods confirmed on Instagram that his two New Balance 1000 collabs are releasing on April 8 at Joefreshgoods.com. The designer also posted a tongue-in-cheek video of fans lining up for the sneakers referencing an old news clip from an Air Jordan 11 launch, which appears directly below.
