While New Balance has mastered creating stylish lifestyle sneakers, their latest collaboration with GANNI has them at another level. In their newest collaboration, New Balance has again partnered with the Danish fashion brand to bring one of their sneakers to life. This time the two brands have focused on creating a new version of the Fresh Foam Sneaker that incorporates some of GANNI’s contemporary style. This unisex design will be available in two fun colorways for every look. If this latest collaborative shoe is anything like their previous partnership, there’s no reason why the Fresh Foam Sneaker won’t fly off the shelves.

Crafted with New Balance’s iconic ‘dad shoe’ chunky silhouette, the Fresh Foam Sneaker contains foam cushioning and airy technical construction for comfort and breathability. For the “Futuristic Silver/Pink” colorway, wearers will find a retro silver base with touches of sparkling pink hues. On the other hand, the “Racing Red/Black” option comes with a red mesh base with black overlays throughout the shoe and a contrasting white midsole. Both variations also contain Y2K-inspired charms on the design’s double-lacing system. As part of both brand’s ethos, a significant portion of the shoe is made with recycled polyester including in the linings, bindings, and insole boards. Small co-branded details can be found throughout the shoe, including GANNI’s butterfly logo. This exciting new sneaker will be available on November 20th via New Balance and GANNI’s web stores. Fans can also find the design at select GANNI stores throughout the country.

For Danner's heritage boot brand, creating the ideal quality hiking boot is an everyday task. However, in their latest drop, the Pacific Northwest-based company is joining forces with Madhappy for a redesign that adds a pop of color to your hiking gear. In this collaboration, both brands are taking on the signature Mountain Light boot and giving it a bit of Madhappy’s touch. For Madhappy, working with iconic footwear brands is nothing new, as they’ve recently increased their collaboration with other classic companies like Uggs. Although hiking shoes tend to come in manageable hues to manage the dirt and mud, this collaborative boot is a fun contrast to the often serious color combinations available. A colorful and airy collaboration, the remixed Mountain Light boot is a must for those who want to add something distinct to the trails.
The new Mountain Light boot

Starting with suede uppers in either chestnut or bright pink, this boot comes equipped with a one-leather piece design in the tongue to keep water and dirt out. This Mountain Light’s stitchdown construction also helps add stability and structure to the underfoot. Inside waterproof Gore-Tex liners help keep the feet warm and comfortable while Vibram Kletterlift outsoles add traction to the boot. Besides announcing the new vibrant hues and modern updates on the boot, Danner has also proudly reiterated that all Mountain Light boots are constructed in Portland, Oregon. The new Madhappy and Danner Mountain Light boot is now available via both Danner and Madhappy web stores and retails at $440. Both colorways are available in men’s and women’s sizing so that all can enjoy the punch of color in their hiking wardrobe.
