Aime Leon Dore founder Teddy Santis was named New Balance’s creative director during 2021, bringing a fresh streetwear-oriented perspective to the 100+ year old brand. Through his collaborations with NB and ALD, revived silhouettes and elevated colorways brought a resurgence of hype towards the Boston-based footwear giant. But now, the two are beginning the roll-out of their long-teased “Made In US” Collection with three identical colorways across the New Balance 990, 990v2, and 990v3.
All three silhouettes come dressed in a mix of hairy grey suede along the overlays, earth-tone brown mesh underlays and hints of tan located on the heel of the 990v1 and 990v2 with the color featured on some suede overlays of the 990v3. Cream white laces don the eyestays across the board, with New Balance “Made In US” brandishing the tongue. Rounding out the looks is the vintage cream colored midsoles and black rubber outsoles.
Alongside the footwear, a collection of elevated essentials including hoodies, shorts, crewnecks, t-shirts, sweatpants, and long sleeve tees don simple NB branding on a color palette that fits Santis’ design language, coming in cream, black, grey, and navy.
The first drop of the Teddy Santis x New Balance Made In US Collection is expected to go down on April 28th, 2022 through New Balance and select retailers online and in-store. For the footwear, all three pairs will come in men’s sizing and retail between $190 and $200.
