The upcoming J.Crew x New Balance collaboration pays tribute to a retro treat. Coated in a mix of neutral hues, this co-branded product is inspired by butterscotch candy.
This wouldn't be the first time American lifestyle brand J.Crew has teamed up with Nike to produce a cool and collaborative New Balance sneaker. While previous collaborations have resulted in sneakers that honor the United States as well as NYC, its latest co-branded product takes inspiration from a classic candy. Working with the New Balance 997 silhouette, J.Crew and Nike have set the tone for the spring season with leather, nubuck and suede rendered in a mix of tan and brown shades.
The latest J.Crew x New Balance sneaker is set to release on March 12th, 2016.
