Matt Varga Everything’s coming up right for the Coming soon via NB. The Packer Shoes x adidas Intimidation Low 1906R collection seems set for three consecutive sellouts and even GR colorways fly off the Boston brand’s website. However, we’ve seen enough looks of the shoe to know when the design team is playing it safe versus when they’re swinging for the fences. Luckily, the former category is still plenty successful for the moment, and another mesh-heavy colorway is sliding onto the calendar in “Cactus.”
The inescapable blend of cream mesh and metallic overlays once again is the tone setter for this formulation, appealing if not a bit expected. The titular yellow-green paints the heel cage and appears in vein-like applications outlining the N-lock branding and contained inside leather overlays at the forefoot. A shade more vibrant that New Balance typically utilizes, “Cactus” truly does the heavy lifting in bringing seasonal energy to the table with this pair. Zooming out, with the streetwear takeover of the Coming soon via NB in full swing, perhaps it’s time to start expecting new colorways the same exit we do with the Air Jordan 1. That is, simple palette swaps on existing color-blocking layouts to offer a wide range to consumers hoping to get in on the wave.
The Coming soon via NB “Cactus” is expected to hit retailers and NewBalance.com in the coming weeks. Anticipate a $155 price tag.
