Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 1000 Black Ice | UK8 | The Sole Supplier

The archival New Balance 1000 returns on a high note via an exclusive Joe Freshgoods collaboration. Introduced in 1998, this trainer was one of the most advanced technical running shoes of its time, equipped with the Boston sportswear brand’s premier technology that ensured you were one step ahead of the competition. After a sneak peek during the Paris Fashion Week, the Joe Freshgoods x New Balance 1000 “Black Ice” is dropping as part of the "When Things Were Pure" pack, two shoes that celebrate the basement parties he attended at the time.Constructed from a black jumbo mesh underlay and covered by iridescent synthetic leather overlays, this colourway is a huge throwback to the early 2000s era of sneakers. A smoky “N” logo adorns the sides, while the Chicago-based designer’s signature JFG branding embellishes the forefoot, rear tab, and blue sockliners. A “1000” callout appears on the tongue and heel, with a thick set of matching rope laces weaving in and out of the central tongue loops. The chunky foam midsole nestles atop the gum rubber outsole, delivering plush comfort and reliable traction that would have powered runners through many a mile back in the late '90s.Arriving in a shiny silver open lid box, the reverse of which details the JFG & NB collaboration in a very stylised Y2K airbrushed font, the storytelling on this has not missed a beat. This JFG NB 1000 also comes with an extra set of duel tone rope laces which are based in the reversed colour scheme to the set already tied on.Dropping on the 19th of April 2024 via select UK retailer raffles, make sure to set up a reminder so you don't get caught sleeping on this pair.
