First signing with New Balance as a global ambassador in 2022, rapper Jack Harlow has since starred in multiple campaigns for the Boston-based footwear label. It took until 2024 for the duo to release a product that the public had a shot at getting when Harlow launched his rose-covered rendition of the 1906R silhouette. Jack has taken to Instagram to showcase a pair of New Balance 442v2 Pro Indoor soccer cleats he designed.
The indoor cleat comes with a clean white, burgundy, and gold color palette that fits with Harlow’s alma mater, Atherton High School. Even more fitting is that Jack played soccer for the high school during his teenage years. As for the upper design, we see a quilted leather finish along the toe, smooth leather on the midfoot and heel, and textured leather on the collar, all rendered in white.
Pops of burgundy and gold are found on the N logo on the midfoot, the 442 text on the lateral heel and tongue, the NB logo atop the tongue, and the custom logo embroidered on the heel. Inside the sneaker, Harlow’s jersey number from high school, 80, is applied to the tongue, while the insole features a map of the Highlands neighborhood in Louisville, Kentucky, where Jack grew up. Finishing the sneaker is the white foam midsole and gum rubber outsole.
The Jack Harlow x New Balance 442v2 Pro Indoor Soccer Cleat will release sometime in 2025 through New Balance and possibly via select retailers online and in-store. Available in unisex sizing, the retail price has yet to be announced.
