Aminé is a proud product of the Pacific Northwest. The Oregon-based rapper brings his distinctly PNW vibe and sound to his music, but also to his fashion and lifestyle in general. For his latest collaboration with New Balance, Aminé is taking it back to his childhood, following up his Biblioteca ABZORB 2000 with a tribute to Outdoor School, a youth program that’s been teaching Oregon youth about nature and the natural sciences since the 1960s.
A Proud Outdoor School Alumnus
The Aminé x New Balance 992 Made in USA Outdoor School is a personal pair that combines dark brown suede on the structure with burnt orange patent leather accents on the support paneling and maroon mesh on the rest of the upper. The midsole switches to white up front and cream on the back to complete the look, with Anime’s script logo on the heel. Last but not least, a “wood cookie” slice from a tree is turned into a hangtag just like the necklaces made for Outdoor School students.
“Learning to love the outdoors was essential to the childhood of all Oregonians and especially me,” Aminé wrote on Instagram. “Outdoor School helped me, and so many others, discover the beauties of the natural world and make so many friends/memories in the process. The wood cookie feels like home and the true Oregonian membership card.”
