Basketcase and New Balance Debut New Soccer-Themed Collab with Pelle Cass Photography

If you’re going to participate in the World Cup sneaker collab bum-rush, you’d better bring something fun to the pitch. As we struggle to keep track of all the soccer-themed collabs hitting shelves this month, Basketcase and New Balance are making a splash with a new collab campaign featuring the art of photographer Pelle Cass, whose action-packed images have changed the way we think about sports photography.

Basket Cass

The Basketcase x New Balance 327 Collection was previewed by Basketcase on Instagram this week with two Pelle Cass photographs, one showing an infinitely repeating mix of slide tackles and soccer balls, and another looping two colorways of the Basketcase x New Balance 327 swirling into a circle above a soccer field.

The photos are an amazingly artistic and intriguing way to introduce the new collab, following the two brands’ 204L partnership, but as of now, we don’t have particularly clear images of the shoes and clothing from the upcoming collection. With that said, we have no doubt that Basketcase will bring us more images soon.

Basketcase x New Balance 327 Collection Release Details

The Basketcase x New Balance 327 Collection will be released through Basketcase, dropping online on June 12, 2026, followed by an in-store release in Los Angeles on June 13 and 14.
