If you asked anyone in 2020, they wouldn’t expect New Balance to be a solid player in the performance basketball market. However, the Boston-based footwear brand has made major moves by signing stars in the NBA, WNBA, and NCAA and introducing various performance models. The brand has just launched its NB Academy Collection, featuring apparel and a new Hesi Low v2 colorway.
The silhouette, combining electric sky, light chrome blue, and white, features the standard construction of other Hesi Low v2 colorways. This design includes a breathable mesh base layer, fused TPU overlays near the toe and collar, and perforated leather on the eyelets and collar. N branding on the midfoot contrasts the blue hues that outline the logo and the colors used on the rest of the upper.
