Aminé's time with New Balance has finally arrived
Grammy-nominated rapper and performer Aminé, known for his recent collaborative album "KAYTRAMINÉ" with Kaytranada, is once again in the spotlight with his ongoing partnership with sportswear brand New Balance. Since 2022, Aminé has been a prominent brand ambassador for the Boston-based company, and now he has exciting news to share: his very own sneaker collaboration.
Given Aminé's consistent presence in New Balance campaigns and the brand's exploration of partnerships with other musical artists like Action Bronson and Jack Harlow, it was only a matter of time before this collaboration came to fruition. While specific details about the silhouette remain undisclosed, Aminé is frequently seen sporting iconic New Balance models such as the 990v3, 2002R, and 992. Thus, it is highly likely that he will infuse his unique touch into one of the brand's beloved Made in USA offerings. Aminé has already initiated the sneaker's rollout by sharing a promotional video featuring his billboard in his hometown, adorned with wooden banana baskets alongside the phrase "A Kid From Portland Has His Own Sneaker."
Construction and all the sneaker's details
Recently, Aminé provided a closer look at his upcoming collaboration with New Balance, showcasing the highly anticipated New Balance 610 "The Mooz" sneakers. These eye-catching kicks feature brown and yellow uppers, reminiscent of the hues found in a ripening banana. Iridescent accents peek through the toe box, quarter panel, and heel molds, adding a touch of visual intrigue. The collars display a unique snowglobe "610" badge, featuring a floating banana inside. A co-branded Aminé x New Balance emblem is prominently placed on the tongues, positioned above a practical toggled lacing system. Notably, one of the rear tabs can be unclasped, allowing the wearer to conveniently loop the shoes together for easier packing and carrying.
A bright future ahead
As fans eagerly anticipate the official release of the Aminé x New Balance collaboration, it is clear that the rapper's distinct creative vision and New Balance's commitment to innovation and quality craftsmanship will result in a truly remarkable sneaker offering.
