Stone Island is once again teaming up with New Balance. On 12 July 2023, the brand announced the new collaboration on their Instagram account. Now, on 21 July 2023, the official images have been unveiled and we can get a detailed look at the two designs that will drop on 28 July 2023.
Stone Island and New Balance are expanding their long-standing partnership. In 2021, both brands announced that they were entering into a long-term partnership with each other and now, over two years later, some unique trainers have already rolled out of this collaboration, think for example about the 574 Legacy 'Green' in early 2023.
Announcing new collaboration
On 12 July 2023, Stone Island shared no less than three teasing images on their Instagram account, clearly showing the logos of both New Balance and Stone Island. Moreover, an intriguing silhouette of a trainer appears in the photos.
One of the teased images shows a silhouette of a sneaker with a sole reminiscent of New Balance's famous running shoes, such as the FuelCell series. In 2021, Stone Island came out with its own variant of the RC Elite SI TDS. Now, with the official images, we can confirm that it is the FuelCell C-1.

The sneaker's design features a striking color combination of mustard yellow and grey, as teased in previous images. The New Balance logo extends across the toe of the shoe, while the Stone Island logo showcases on the heel. Additionally, they are planning to release a second colorway.
A second colorway is also being launched in a slightly darker shade. This version features a multicolor upper with striking dark brown accents around the shoe. The camouflage patterns on both sneakers are inspired by Stone Island's old clothing lines.
The two colorways will start dropping on 28 July 2023 at 10:00am. Keep checking the news page for the latest updates and news regarding this collab.
