Joe Freshgoods and New Balance, with their longstanding connection, are embarking on a fresh chapter as the year comes to a close through the unveiling of the Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 990v4 '1998' Pack. Making his inaugural mark on the New Balance 990v4, Freshgoods pays tribute to the 1998 crime drama, Belly, directed by Hype Williams and featuring iconic rap figures Nas and DMX. Capturing the film's noir ambiance, the 'Intro' version overlays a black ballistic mesh base with white pigskin suede panels, while the 'Outro' switches the dynamic to a striking black-on-white composition. Glossy leather embellishments grace the uppers, and Encap technology in the midsoles ensures a blend of comfort and cushioning. Standout features include oversized "N" logos on the sides, debossed "JFG" initials on the lateral heel, and a subtle reference to the film's debut year, "1998," discreetly placed towards the back of each shoe. Rounding off the pack is the 'Keisha Blue' colorway, inspired by Belly's nightclub robbery scene, infusing a vibrant and dynamic element into this cinematic collaboration.
Guided by the continuous support of James Whitner's Social Status, the Nike Attack, formerly recognized as the Mac Attack, is seizing the opportunity of its 2023 resurgence under their collaboration by introducing an extensive array of inline color variations. Exploring the entire spectrum of colors, the iconic silhouette associated with tennis legend John McEnroe now boasts an energetic touch with the introduction of the vivid "Lemon Venom" accent. Evoking a sense of nostalgia from its previous dual-toned iterations, this mid-top model embraces an abundance of pristine white tones that dominate the leather and mesh upper. Despite the absence of checkered tongue tabs, the upcoming color schemes retain the essence of original embellishments, extending monochromatic contributions to the tongue, laces, and midsole. Additionally, a lively marigold hue injects a harmonious touch, adorning the profile swooshes, upper collar, insoles, heel counter, and tread.
