Joe Freshgoods X New Balance

1. The ABZORB 2010 combines the excitement of a progressive, all-new style with a sense of the familiar. The segmented ABZORB sole unit, a signature feature of several 2000s-era fan favorites, features more expansive proportions, becoming the centerpiece of this new design. This eye-catching visual is paired with a diamond-knit mesh upper, for an updated twist on a classic look.

For his collaborative take on the new silhouette, Joe Freshgoods uses unique textures and materials for an experimental design that examines the ways in which confidence manifests itself in individuals. A printed bouclé material adds a soft, worn-in look and feel to overlays across the upper, while detachable metal chains with ‘JFG’ charms provide an inventive look at customizable branding
