With collaborations by Joe Freshgoods and Aimé Leon Dore under its belt, the New Balance 1000 has steered focus to general release colorways in the past few months. Recent pairs have delivered everything from flashy retro-inspired color combos to conservative, tonal looks, and consistent with what we’ve seen on models like the New Balance 1906R, the Boston brand isn’t shy to shake things up with fresh material and color blocking combos.

The worst thing a sneaker brand can do sometimes is to take one of its best sneakers and think it needs a change. The Air Jordan 3 is just fine being the Air Jordan 3. The Air Force 1 doesn’t need a Lunar sole. The New Balance 997 never needed to become a 997H, whatever that was. The Air Jordan 1 never needed to be made in Flyknit. But once in a while, a brand is able to take one of its best sneakers, see it through a new lens, and, just maybe, make it better.

How New Balance Made One of Its Best Shoes Even Better

Once designed for long-distance running, the Nike Zoom Vomero 5 has found itself a new home on the streets.

Three colorways arrive Fall 2024. The New Balance 550 isn’t nearly as popular as it was a few years back, but the retro basketball-turned-lifestyle shoe still looks to play a big role in the Boston brand’s catalog for the foreseeable future. Following an extraordinary run in the early 2020s, the model’s current chapter has introduced a slew of different styles, with many of today’s releases leveraging unique materials, color blocking schemes, and to a somewhat lesser extent; different branding.

Breanna Stewart and the US women’s team just tore through the competition in Paris, but the Liberty superstar has a lot staked in Germany as well. She and PUMA unveiled the Stewie 3 with the “City of Love” colorway towards the end of June, revealing her 3rd signature in elegant fashion. Though the first colorway is checked off the list, the shoe still being early in its lifespan means there’s no better time for a splashy new edition. It doesn’t get more high-profile than this: a full-fledged Harry Potter collaboration lands on the Stewie 3 this September.

As low-key as the legislation was introduced, the bill was signed into law without fanfare June 6. It garnered little to no media attention.
