Name: Action Bronson x New Balance 1890 “Hornet Tusk”
Colorway: White/Yellow
SKU: U18901DP
MSRP: $210 USD
Release Date: February 6
Where to Buy: SpecializingInLife

Following the earlier launch of the Action Bronson x New Balance 1890 “Cyborg Tears,” the duo returns to debut the collaboration’s latest colorway: the “Hornet Tusk.” Shifting away from the darker tones of his initial take on the archival runner, the Queens rapper moves toward a lighter aesthetic that seamlessly blends performance heritage with his distinct visual language.

The “Hornet Tusk” iteration utilizes a clean foundation of white mesh and lightweight synthetics, allowing vibrant accents to take center stage. Neon green ABZORB pods are embedded within the midsole, providing a sharp contrast to the neutral upper, while a warm golden heel counter anchors the design. True to Bronson’s signature style, the pair maintains a playful, mismatched aesthetic through two-tone rope laces and a translucent “BAKLAVA” tongue badge. Built on the 1890’s modern cushioning platform, the sneaker prioritizes smooth transitions and utilitarian function without sacrificing its bold look.

The Action Bronson x New Balance 1890 “Hornet Tusk” will be available for early access on February 5, followed by a wider release on February 6 via SpecializingInLife. Take a look at the launch campaign images above.
