Stone Island and New Balance join forces once again, this time focusing on the New Balance 998. The classic model gets a refreshed look with materials and details characteristic of Stone Island.
Stone Island experiments with materials, while New Balance is known for comfort. In this collaboration, these worlds come together, giving the 998 an industrial aesthetic with durable fabrics and refined details, without compromising fit and cushioning.
The sneaker combines suede and mesh for a sturdy construction with a comfortable fit. Durable overlays reinforce the shoe, giving it a rugged look. Subtle Stone Island branding can be found on the tongue and heel, while the ABZORB cushioning ensures the familiar New Balance comfort.
When it comes to the color palette, this collaboration stays true to Stone Island’s signature style: a mix of earth tones, deep grays, and subtle green accents creates a refined yet bold aesthetic.
