Stone Island and New Balance Announce Collaboration Plans
The beginning of a long-term partnership between the pair.
New Balance and Stone Island have today announced that they will be collaborating for the first time later this year, as the two brands mark the beginning of a long-term partnership.
Teased across their respective Instagram channels earlier today, this news marks the continuation of an already busy 2020 for New Balance, who have collaborations with the likes of BAPE, Snow Peak and Casablanca already under their belt.
On the announcement, Carlo Rivetti, Stone Island president and creative director, said: “There are only a limited number of brands that can be referred to as iconic. Stone Island and New Balance have shown that they are of this breed. To exchange concepts and ideas by opening doors to each other’s R&D teams, with the aim to create a great sound product, is exciting and the greatest message we can jointly convey to our audiences.”
The first New Balance x Stone Island drop is set to drop later this year, with more news on specific products expected to follow in the coming months.
In other news, HYPEBEAST recently sat down with Rivetti himself to discuss Moncler’s Stone Island acquisition and the brand’s future.
