New Balance is back with another Foot Locker-exclusive drop, featuring classic styles in colorways that bring the heat.
Each pair in the “Desert Heat” collection, comprised of two 1906Rs and a 1000, comes dressed in black-based colorways with vibrant pops of color to juxtapose the hue of the desert sand. The classic M1000 returns from the archives with a tech-inspired look, featuring inverted mesh overlays and synthetic panels. The “Black/Pink/Green” watermelon colorway is available in Men’s and Grade School sizing.
Jumping ahead to the 2000s, the 1906R blends breathable mesh uppers with superior shock absorption. The “Black/Multi” colorway carries sleek overlays in pops of yellow, blue, pink, and green. This style is offered in Women’s, Men’s, and Grade School sizing, while a “Black/Pink” colorway is exclusively offered Women’s sizing. The collection is unveiled with a campaign starring Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., rocking the “Black/Multi” 1906R.
Following previous drops exclusively housed at Foot Locker, such as the “Blue Pack” and “Saturated Suedes,” the latest “Desert Heat” pack continues to revamp timeless New Balance silhouettes in fresh and modern ways.
The New Balance “Desert Heat” collection drops August 28th at 10am ET via footlocker.com, champssports.com, and select Foot Locker and Champs Sports stores. Check out all three styles below.
