Don't call it a comeback, but Joe Freshgoods recently took to social media to tease a New Balance 1890 collaboration.
Having spent most of the last four months relatively quiet, the Chicago-native has been hard at work behind-the-scenes, both at the Boston-based brand and via his own projects. By the looks of it, one of the things that has been occupying the creative's time is a special-edition of the NB 1890, a big bet for the company this year.
The New Balance 1890 hit the market with the help of an Action Bronson collaboration. Although well-received, Baklava projects haven't seen the widespread availability of some of JFG's work. Therefore, Mr. Joseph Robinson's co-sign of the technical silhouette should be just the push it needs for its inline colorways to move off shelves.
Much is still under wraps about the Joe Freshgoods 1890, but an initial teaser shot previews an orange-and-black color scheme. Hits of yellow join the mix, perhaps recreating lava or fire of sorts.
