Joe Freshgoods' 'Conversations Amongst Us' project with New Balance was Joe's initial venture into his Creative Director role with the Massachusetts footwear conglomerate, and from that yielded two silhouettes; the 2002R and 550. It was mid-April when we alluded to the addition of a 'Conversations Amongst Us' Kawhii II, with its original [then-upcoming] May release date. May has now come and gone, and with release dates always subject to change; the project's date has been pushed to June.
Utilizing the motif of the previous releases, the neutral color scheme is back at work but on Kawhi Leonard's second New Balance signature. The upper has been given an aged appearance with the midsole and underlay adorned in a crackled look. All atop a solid, textured gum rubber outsole.
The second collaboration between Freshgoods x Leonard x New Balance comes two years after the "No Emotions Are Emotions" run during the 2020 NBA All-Star Weekend. Release is slated for June 3rd at select New Balance retailers.
