Prior releases of Action Bronson and New Balance’s 990v6 have been some of the best sneakers released thus far in 2023. It may be an acquired taste with a unique “flavor profile”—its color-blocking and palette is amorphous, in addition to its multi-material construction. Expounding on the concept of his collaborative 990v6, the rapper explains:

“I wanted to capture everything that makes us up as beings. The water, the waves, the energy. The energy in the copper. The energy that transfuses electricity into light … You can literally break down each color.

“The bottom—the ocean—water, which makes us up. Then it’s the earth, the terra. Then you have another layer of the copper. That’s the electricity that infuses everything that lies underneath the layers. Then you have the electricity in the sky—that neon green, the lightning. Then you have the grey—original New Balance structure and soul as something planetary, the moon.”

The three new colorways that’ve surfaced follow the same MO. Featuring a construction of mesh, leather, and nubuck, dressed in an array of colors traversing through blue, neon green, orange, and grey.

Information is scant at the time of writing, considering this is the first time they’re seen. Some sources however purport their names to be “Baklava Flea Market” and “BamBamBaklava”. There’s also a link you can sign up for to get official updates.

Nevertheless when more details do arrive, you bet you’ll hear it from us at this very page. So stay tuned!

In the mean time, consider a look at the PSG x Nike Air Jordan 6 Low “Cement Grey”.
