New Balance just unveiled the latest entry to its popular Fresh Foam basketball line with the Fresh Foam BB v2 sneaker pictured here.

According to New Balance, it had worked closely with Chicago Bulls All-Star guard and brand athlete, Zach LaVine, on the development of the Fresh Foam BB v2. Much like the first version, this sneaker is designed for hoopers of all positions by offering a mid-cut mesh and suede upper coupled with a Fresh Foam midsole for a smooth heel-to-toe transition. The outsole is also equipped with a unique pattern that helps hoopers with quick cuts to the rim. New Balance confirmed that this "The Moon Beam" pays homage to LaVine's "elegant and sophisticated off-court identity, adding a touch of personal style to the latest model of performance footwear."

"This is my favorite performance shoe, hands down, and I am proud of the work I did with the design team," LaVine said. "This is the only shoe I want to wear when I get back out on the court. We also have some fire PEs coming this season that I can’t wait to showcase."

Readers will be able to cop the New Balance Fresh Foam BB v2 starting on Feb. 2 at Newbalance.com and at select New Balance stores for $130.
