New Balance and Carhartt WIP collaborate on their first ever capsule

The cult American sportswear label New Balance and Carhartt WIP, the offshoot of Carhartt that was founded in London in 1997, have collaborated on a capsule collection that includes a new version of the classic 990v1 sneaker, as well as a series of clothing and accessories - and we’re here to let you know how you can cop it before it’s gone.

Inspired by neighbourhood gyms across America, the fabrics - like washed-out canvas and heavyweight jersey - give the collection a worn-in feel with comfy pieces you’ll never want to take off. Designed in a muted colour palette of dark blues and greys, the T-shirts, sweaters, and track pants, as well as a reversible beanie, towel, and a water bottle, have a vintage collegiate aesthetic, with 80s logos and typography.

And what better era to reference seeing as the 990v1 was first launched in 1982? With a strapline that once read ‘Worn by supermodels in London and dads in Ohio’, it’s no wonder this New Balance silhouette lives up to the cool-dad rep. Originally a running shoe, it has since become a celebrity favourite, adopted by the likes of Nick Jonas and Kanye West.

The collection is available to buy from select Carhartt WIP stores, as well as carhartt-wip.com and newbalance.com, and given the popularity of both brands, you better get in there quick.
