Last week, he celebrated the premiere of Prime Video’s new series “Fallout” in Los Angeles in another style of grey New Balance sneakers. They featured an asymmetrical design in different shades of gray, with off-white soles.
This collaboration with Smith’s clothing line, the MSFTSrep x New Balance 0.01, inaugurates their partnership. The design combines classic style with contemporary design, drawing inspiration from the proportions of the Fibonacci sequence.
About the Shoes
The design features an ash grey and black suede paneled design with a logo print to the side and a logo patch at the tongue. There’s also a branded heel counter with a round toe and front lace-up fastening branded insole complemented by a distressed rubber lug sole.
The “Karate Kid” star’s latest New Balance silhouette marries the understated with the exaggerated, featuring a low-top classic court upper situated atop an oversized midsole and outsole.
Jayden Smith x New Balance
The actor and rapper has been a New Balance ambassador since 2019 and has released three different shoe collabs with the athletic brand and MSFTrep. He recently teased two new colorways — black and dark grey — of his New Balance x MSFTSrep 0.01 sneaker, which will drop later this year. The debut New Balance x MSFTSrep 0.01 sneaker dropped in October 2023 with an all-white leather upper and a “NB” and “MSFTSrep” logos printed on opposite sides of the upper. Smith’s first New Balance shoe dropped in July 2020, the bold, chunky Vision Racer, and was followed up with colorful version in 2021, dubbed the Trippy Summer Pack.
About New Balance
New Balance is an independent — increasingly rare in this day and age — athletic brand that was founded in Boston in 1906. Once perceived as “dad shoes,” New Balance has had a resurgence in popularity among sneakerheads in recent years. By reviving and revisiting classic silhouettes in new colorways and partnering with hot designers and fashion influencers, such as Smith and fellow Gen Z actor Storm Reid, New Balance continues to make its mark with comfortable, trendy sneakers.
