The image shows co-branded shoe boxes that are dressed in tonal orange and green looks but the sneakers have not been […]

After teasing the collaborative sneaker midway through last year, London-based community platform The Basement and New Balance have officially announced their forthcoming “Earth Brown” iteration of the 2002R silhouette.  First appearing in 2010 as NB’s flagship Made in USA model, the “2002” was unleashed in 2020 as the “2002R” with the original upper design, additional ABZORB and NERGY modern cushioning technology and subtle design touches.

For their latest project, […]
