New Balance Unveils the 1906L Loafer "Metallic Pink"
New Balancecontinues to redefine footwear norms, demonstrating an audacious spirit with the upcoming release of the1906L Loafer'Metallic Pink.' Expected to drop in Summer 2025, this silhouette, born from the brand's exploration into hybrid designs, takes the controversial yet captivating sneaker-loafer fusion to a dazzling new level. It's a clear signal that New Balance isn't shying away from bold statements, instead embracing a 'loud and proud' philosophy. It drapes the upper in a glossy, vibrant pink leather, described as 'glossier than your favorite lip gloss,' ensuring this loafer-sneaker hybrid will turn heads. This audacious main color is intelligently balanced by supporting tones of mauve on the straps, salmon mesh, and subtle beige underlays, providing a nuanced contrast that keeps the overall look from veering into one-dimensional territory. A grey heel cage adds structural definition, while a black outsole keeps the flamboyant upper grounded, literally and figuratively.

B:MING by BEAMS and New Balance Rework the 574 in Earthy 'Mushroom' Tones
Name:B:MING by BEAMS x New Balance 574 'Mushroom'Colorway:TBDSKU:93-31-0420-424MSRP:¥12,980 (Approximately $90 USD)Release Date:August 2025Where to Buy:BEAMS,New Balance B:MING by BEAMSandNew Balancereunite for a fresh take on theNew Balance 574, dressing the classic silhouette in an earthy, texture-rich 'Mushroom' colorway. The collaboration leans into organic tones and vintage cues, delivering a sneaker that balances understated design with unexpected bursts of color — a nod to B:MING's timeless design philosophy. The upper features hairy suede overlays in the titular 'Mushroom' shade, paired with tonal mesh for a cohesive, monochromatic base. This muted foundation sets the stage for vibrant accents — most notably the bold mustard yellow 'N' logo, tongue stripe, and inner lining, which inject a dose of energy and nod to classic New Balance color blocking. Red branding on the tongue tag adds another layer of visual punch, reinforcing the sneaker's heritage feel. Additional details elevate the understated theme. White laces and a crisp ENCAP midsole break up the darker tones — not just visually, but functionally as well. The ENCAP system pairs soft EVA cushioning with a durable polyurethane rim, offering long-lasting support and energy return ideal for everyday wear. Meanwhile, the black toe cap and heel counter add visual weight and anchor the design, while the outsole, dusted with white flecks, introduces a slightly rugged, outdoor-ready finish that complements the suede textures up top. Subtle, yet statement-making, the 574 'Mushroom' is a refined update that feels equally rooted in classic New Balance DNA and B:MING's understated Japanese sensibility — an easy everyday option with just the right amount of visual edge. The pair is expected to release late August exclusively on the officialBEAMSandNew Balancesite.

The Ama x Salomon XT-Whisper Void Is Inspired by the Sea
Name:Ama x Salomon XT-Whisper VoidColorway:Vanilla Ice / Fusion Coral / EmberglowMSRP:$170 USDRelease Date:Available NowWhere to Buy:Salomon Salomon's XT-Whispercontinues to remain top of mind for the footwear imprint, continuously reimagining the silhouette and expanding its universe by way of exciting new collaborations and colorways. The latest in the lineup is British singer-songwriterAma, who has teamed with Salomon to serve up the Ama x Salomon XT-Whisper Void in partnership with her creative agency, I Came Home Late Studios. The revamped Whisper lands in a whimsical Vanilla Ice / Fusion Coral / Emberglow colorway, with each color design connected to a deeper meaning inspired by the sea and the strength of Japanese 'Ama'divers – women who descended into the ocean for centuries in pursuit of harvesting pearls. The white speaks to the 'treasure sought in silence,' while the coral orange represents 'a flash of life—vivid, raw, and the same shade that warms the gloves of the divers,' and seaweed green pays proper homage to the greenery that lives beneath the undercurrents. Functionality-wise, the new collaborative Whipser Void comes complete with the classic Sensifi™ and Quicklace precision fit, as well as an Agile Chassis system that ensures stability, support, and grip. 'Number one (reason to wear Salomon) is functionality, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter if you're a fashion girl, there's nothing more annoying than having shoes that don't feel good,' Ama elaborated in a press statement, pointing to her personal affinity for the brand that served as the core footing for the collaborative venture. 'They're also subdued in terms of branding, so they can go with everything. If I'm on a small trip, I'll take one pair of Salomons and I know I can go for a hike in the woods or wear them to dinner without anyone looking at me crazy. They're really easily transposable across lots of different outfits, but also understated and chic.'
