New Balance Puts a Dad Shoe Spin on the Fresh Foam BB

As the anticipation for the upcoming NBA season bubbles up, the courts are not the only place showcasing fresh offerings. Sneaker shelves too, are bracing themselves with a slew of novel releases, one of which is the New Balance Fresh Foam BB, throwing a nod to the timeless ‘Dad Shoe’ aesthetic. It's remarkable how this iteration subtly references the classic colorway of the much-adored 624 model, a palette that shares a kinship with Nike's Monarch range.

Taking a deviation from its usual mesh construction, this rendition introduces a canvas overlay sporting a ‘Sea Salt’ tint, a delightful dalliance that beckons the retro enthusiast. The overlay curves out ovals to reveal the navy blue and gold-trimmed “N” logo, a tasteful game of peek-a-boo that adds a dash of playful elegance.

The navy hue further cloaks the heel counter, tongue’s branding embellishment, and the tread, establishing a bold yet refined backdrop. Kisses of faded gold grace the suede heel panel and the underfoot’s hexagonal cushioning system, a gentle contrast that sings a nostalgic song.

With this fresh aesthetic, the Fresh Foam BB seamlessly marries the athletic rigor with a casual, retro allure, ensuring a stylish trot down the lane or a comfy sprint on the court.

Mark the date as this vintage-inspired New Balance Fresh Foam BB “Dad Shoe” colorway releases on NewBalance.com this Friday, September 29th, retailing at $130.
