Stone Island Remixes the New Balance Numeric 272
The British label’s Marina line ventures into the skate scene with three colorways of the sneaker.
Summary
- Stone Island Marina and New Balance Numeric have teamed up for three new takes on the 272 sneaker
- Each pair features a vulcanized build, suede and light-reactive poly canvas upper, and co-branding from the duo
- Release is set to take place on June 18 via Stone Island
Update: We took a first look at a Stone Island Marina x New Balance Numeric 272 sneaker last week and now the duo has officially presented their collaboration. Showcased here via exclusive in-hand imagery, the design arrives in three colorways of white, blue, and yellow. A vulcanized construction with an engineered outsole hosts a combination of suede and a light-reactive poly canvas upper, including reactivity at the lateral midfoot’s “N” logo. Rubberized Stone Island Marina branding joins a New Balance Numeric callout in blue at the heel. Rounding out each pair is a co-branded, thematic dry bag and signal whistle. Pairs will be made available via Stone Island channels on June 18, with sign-ups for the sale open now via the brand’s website.
Original Story: Stone Island and New Balance have continued to work closely together in recent years, typically offering at least two footwear collaborations a year. The duo came together earlier this year for a “Raso Gommato” colorway of the 998 sneaker in March. Now, they’re already back with more, pairing the nautical-inspired Stone Island Marina diffusion line with the skate crew over at New Balance Numeric.

This time around, Stone Island Marina has put its own twist on the Numeric 272. Typically a budget-oriented option for skaters, this rendition of the shoe sees it elevated in several unique ways. For starters, its upper has been split into two distinct parts: a lower level in gray suede and an upper one that features a white textile. While the lateral side of the midfoot features a gray “N” logo, the medial forgoes its inclusion in favor of two ventilation eyelets offering breathability just above the off-white vulcanized sole. Tonal Stone Island Marina branding is present at the textured tongue while the heel hosts callouts to both brands in blue.
At the time of writing, neither Stone Island nor New Balance have shared when their collaborative take on the Numeric 272 will be dropping. Stone Island has teased that more information will be coming soon, indicating that it will likely arrive soon via Stone Island, New Balance, and select retailers, likely at a cost far above the model’s standard $75 USD price point. Stay tuned for updates, including a complete look at the sneaker, as we await more details from the duo.
