Australian retailer Up There is set to unveil its latest collaboration with New Balance, reimagining the classic 860v2 silhouette. The initial preview of this sneaker was shared by Instagram account @smallgainz. Up There, known for its notable sneaker collaborations—including the New Balance 1906D and partnerships with ASICS—continues to push the envelope with its new release.
Inspired by Australia’s Vibrant Landscapes
The design of this latest sneaker draws from the rich and varied landscapes of Australia, incorporating a color palette of green, blue, and brown to reflect the country’s diverse environments. The blue tones evoke a coastal influence, while the greens pay tribute to Australia’s lush forests. The sneaker features a combination of mesh and synthetic overlays, with a vibrant pink accent adding a distinctive touch. It is built on New Balance’s ABZORB cushioning, ensuring both style and comfort.
This collaboration promises to make a notable impression in the sneaker world, with a release scheduled for later this year.
