First preview in mid-June, the new balance 920 made in uk lunar rise grey “Protection” Pack is set to release across the globe on August 20th. Yet, New York-based boutique, Extra Butter, has gotten exclusive early-dibs at the three-pair collection.
Informed by a “refined future” concept pitched by New Balance designer, Yue Wu, each NB proposition in the upcoming capsule features a series of “eroded” panels and pre-distressed details in an attempt to present the shoes as wearable relics. Although current generations have taken a liking to the “Y2K” aesthetic, these designs and technologies are entirely of a certain time, and the aforementioned design cues create the illusion of these 2002R pairs having once been “trapped in time.” Premium hairy suedes and leather overlays, as well as breathable, comfortable mesh components, indulge in one of three colorways: “Rain Cloud/Magnet,” “Phantom/Magnet” and “Sea Salt/Munsell White.” The updated NERGY cushioning clair rounds out the special trio, proffering the biggest design update from the original 2002 model.
In addition to launching New Balance’s “Protection” Pack early, Extra Butter will also release its own “Refined Future”-inspired private label capsule. The range includes three t-shirt styles, a trucker hat and crew socks. Furthermore, customers on the early August 14th release date will receive a complimentary limited the on-theme mixtape produced by Extra Butter and mixed by Darling Chuck.
Enjoy images of the upcoming collections ahead, and expect an in-store (Lower East Side and Long Island) and online extrabutterny.com release on August 14th ahead of the New Balances global August 20th launch.
Elsewhere from the Boston-based brand, the Sostenible New balance Zapatillas Trail Running Fresh Foam Arishi continues to be a go-to style for countless “cool Trail-zapatillas” in New York City’s downtown scene.
