Absent Action Bronson’s transformative touch and his prior collaboration with New Balance, the Minimus line might have remained a footnote in the sneaker narrative. This latest iteration, a black and tan colorway, however, arrives with a newfound prominence.

About the New Balance Minimus “Black/Tan”

The Minimus, inherently a trail runner, is now embraced by the “gorpcore” aesthetic, a style that blends outdoor utility with urban sensibility. This general release, with its layered black mesh upper and rugged, earth-toned sole, embodies that duality. The interplay of textures and hues speaks to both function and style.

A significant design shift distinguishes this Minimus: the traditional small collar logos are replaced by a bold, centered “N” in black leather, a direct reference to the New Balance 9060. This alteration injects a lifestyle-oriented sophistication, broadening the Minimus’s appeal beyond its utilitarian origins.

Release Details

The New Balance Minimus “Black/Tan,” now imbued with newfound desirability, is slated for imminent release through New Balance and select retailers, priced at US$120. Stay tuned!
