Stone Island x New Balance Numeric Is on the Way

Despite its relatively short list of projects with New Balance, Stone Island has already left an impression on the brand and its followers. Ahead of summer, the storied fashion imprint has teased a collaboration with NB's Numeric division.

Founded in 2013, New Balance Numeric (often stylized as NB#) has quietly amassed a loyal following amongst skateboarders. The recent launch of Andrew Reynold's New Balance 933 showcased just how eager the public is for more skate-ready footwear from the Boston-based brand. Specifics on Stone Island's first foray into the world of NB# have yet to be disclosed by either party involved, but photos shared to Instagram by @cultaddix has showcased an elevated version of the low-profile 272.

Branded with Marina messaging throughout the shoe and its packaging, the impending drop features different shades of off-white across its reinforced build. The iconic compass badge seen on other projects between both partners is abandoned on the New Balance Numeric shoe, delivering an understated, but fresh aesthetic. Blue flair arrives at the heel, interrupting the muted presentation.

Stay tuned for NewBalance.com launch details and official photos of the collaboration. And for more sneaker news, check out the world of Nike SB.
