New Balance and Bricks & Wood are set to extend their partnership with the forthcoming release of the Bricks & Wood x New Balance 1906U, artfully designed and previewed by Dani B.

Since their initial collaboration, these brands have raised the bar for sneaker partnerships, skillfully merging heritage influences, contemporary design, and compelling narratives. Founded by Kacey Lynch in 2014 within South Central Los Angeles, Bricks & Wood is deeply committed to community engagement, authentic storytelling, and an unwavering sense of identity. This philosophy aligns perfectly with New Balance’s dedication to excellence in craftsmanship and honoring its roots. Together, they create a harmonious blend of Bricks & Wood’s narrative-rich design approach and New Balance’s storied sneaker legacy.

The duo’s first significant collaboration, the Bricks & Wood x New Balance 57/40 released in 2021, became an instant classic. Showcasing neutral color palettes and high-quality materials, with subtle references to Bricks & Wood’s South Central heritage, this sneaker encapsulated the essence of both brands. The 57/40 not only solidified Bricks & Wood’s status within the streetwear community but also provided New Balance with a fresh, innovative perspective on sneaker design.

Fast forward to 2023, and their collaboration yielded the Bricks & Wood x New Balance 9060, which made waves in the sneaker community. The chunky design, dressed in earthy tones and premium suede, represented a significant evolution in their partnership. Once again, this release flew off the shelves, illustrating the strong demand for this creative intersection of culture and style.

The upcoming Bricks & Wood x New Balance 1906U is built on the utility version of the already popular 1906R model. Its predominantly black exterior is accentuated with a vibrant gradient that transitions from green to yellow, orange, and pink, promising a visually striking addition to any sneaker collection.

While an official release date for the Bricks & Wood x New Balance 1906U has yet to be disclosed, fans are optimistic for a launch by late 2024 or early 2025. Anticipated sales channels include BricksAndWood.US, NewBalance.com, and select retail partners.

    Official Release Date for the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen”

    The Boston Celtics’ season is unfolding just as they had envisioned, with only one loss to report and a striking 30 points per game average from their star player, Jayson Tatum.

    After a more eventful off-season than what championship teams typically endure, Tatum and his Boston teammates have skillfully tuned out distractions, staying focused on their goal of repeating their success early in the season. In line with this theme, the upcoming #0 Jordan Tatum 3 is about to launch a “Zen” colorway that embodies this same sense of tranquility.

    The motif of serenity has been a consistent element in Jayson Tatum’s sneaker line, especially highlighted by the “Vortex” version of the Tatum 2, which explicitly connects to this theme: our previous coverage noted that the design reflects Tatum’s calm demeanor, reminiscent of the peacefulness found in a vortex above water.

    While this new model opts for a more subdued color palette, its execution remains true to that original concept; the graceful cut-outs in the upper design resemble calm waters, serving as a guiding inspiration throughout Tatum’s signature collection.

    As mentioned earlier, the Jordan Tatum 3 “Zen” is set to launch on November 14th via Nike.com, available in sizes for the whole family. The adult versions will be priced at $125.

    For a closer look at this appealing colorway, check out the official images below, and make sure to keep an eye on our Sneakers page for updates.

    Jason Kelce’s Field Goal Attempt In Timberlands Will End In A $100,000 Donation

    This Saturday, November 2nd, Jason Kelce will take on a field goal challenge while wearing Wheat Timbs during the ESPN College GameDay broadcast of the highly anticipated Penn State vs. Ohio State matchup. The idea for this challenge originated when college student Daniel Villasenor successfully kicked a field goal in Vans checkerboard slip-ons, winning an impressive $100,000 earlier in October.

    Initially discussed on the Kelce brothers’ New Heights podcast with special guest Pat McAfee, this lighthearted challenge quickly evolved into a real event. The NFL legend, Jason Kelce, is set to attempt scoring three points while donning the famous Wheat Timberlands.

    In an exciting twist, VF Corp — the parent company of both Vans and Timberland — has stepped in with a generous $100,000 commitment to the charity Soles4Souls, aimed at supporting hurricane relief efforts. Fortunately for Jason, VF Corp has assured that the funds will be donated regardless of whether his kick is successful or not.

    Make sure to tune in to ESPN College GameDay on November 2nd, 2024, to witness this unique field goal attempt for yourself!
