Jaden Smith Updates the New Balance Vision Racer Sneaker
Jaden Smith joins forces with New Balance to celebrate this year's Earth Day with a new design update of the Vision Racer sneaker model. It joins the ReWorked series and is entirely focused on a sustainable approach. The latest sneaker is made using "74% SPINNEX fiber, 16% recycled polyester, and 10% Spandex."
All of this is complete in a light gray hue throughout with white overlays along with the heels, the toe boxes, and the mid-foot sections. Notably, there are speckled details throughout the shoe for a textural look. Branding details that nod to New Balance can be seen at the side panels and at the heel counters in a dark black. The aforementioned speckled patterns decorate the dimensional midsoles that sit on top of the traditional clear outsole that showcases the words “[DO YOU SEE IT YET?]”
