Collaborations continue to play a significant role in New Balance‘s continued success story, and after recently flexing recent projects with the likes of AURALEE and Miu Miu, the Boston sportswear imprint is now bringing our attention back to its partnership with Action Bronson. The rapper, wrestler and chef is already expected to release his forthcoming New Balance 990v6 “Baklava” colorway to the masses, but now we’re learning that a second “Lapis Lazuli” colorway is in order given that he just teased them via Instagram.

The on-foot shot of Bronson rocking the pair isn’t taken at the closest range, but we can get a good feel of the pair’s vivid palette along with collaborative apparel that he confirms Teddy Santis assisted in bringing to life. Pigskin suede forms the lifestyle kicks’ overlays and gets flooded with a denim-esque blue and this is complemented by silver “N” logos on the lateral and medial panels and navy blue toe boxes and side panels. Tongues carry over the “Baklava” branding and get backdropped in baby blue while the laces are done up with a golden brown finish to match up with the underfoot. Furthermore, the midsole pieces have been coated with a creamy finish to round off its design.

There’s no word on an official launch date just yet, but expect Action Bronson and New Balance to confirm more details in the coming months.
