Summary

ction Bronson and New Balance are releasing two new colorways of the 2811 silhouette titled Blackjacques and The Whisperer

The signature model combines an original upper with the sole unit from the New Balance 2010

Both iterations release on September 25 exclusively through Action Bronson's webstore

Action Bronson and New Balance have officially announced two new colorways of the New Balance 2811, dubbed “Blackjacques” and “The Whisperer.” The dual drop expands the rapper’s signature silhouette following its debut earlier this year.

Serving as Bronson’s first signature model with the brand, the 2811 pairs an original upper construction with the existing sole unit of the New Balance 2010. The “Blackjacques” iteration adopts a dark palette—first spotted when Bronson wore them courtside ahead of the model’s official announcement—while “The Whisperer” provides a contrasting look with a white and black base. Both pairs incorporate subtle red and blue accents to maintain the artist’s Baklava design identity.

The launch of “The Whisperer” comes after Bronson addressed social media reports regarding leaked inventory, noting that stolen pairs had entered the supply chain and appeared on resale platforms below retail. Despite the distribution issue, both models are scheduled for an official release.

The Action Bronson x New Balance 2811 “Blackjacques” and “The Whisperer” release on September 25, 2026, exclusively via online.
