New York-based multi-hyphenated celebrity Action Bronson runs it back with New Balance for another collaboration starring a fan-favourite Made in USA model.
The Queens native has been one of streetwear’s most popular figures since the success of his first NB project in 2023, resulting in several other projects with the Boston sportswear brand.
Clad in an earthy colour scheme, the Action Bronson x New Balance 992 “Baklava Brown” showcases a vibrant take on the beloved mid-2000s runner.
This streamlined shoe flaunts a bright orange accent on the open mesh underlays, contrasted by a rich brown hue on the synthetic panels and pigskin suede overlays. The embossed “N” logo adorns the sidewalls, complementing the New Balance branding on the cool blue tongue and the silver “992” near the collar. A subtly debossed “Baklava” decorates the lateral foxing, while co-branded details animate the sockliner.
The blacked-out ENCAP and C-CAP midsole contrasts the attention-grabbing upper, keeping the brand’s proprietary cushioning technology hidden yet functional. ABZORB in the forefoot and heel delivers long-lasting comfort and energy return, shored up by a durable NDurance rubber outsole.
