New Balance has been preparing to make its most definitive imprint on the basketball market, and it’s all coming together with Kawhi Leonard and the OMN1S. Originally debuting early last season, the New Balance OMN1S has been a steady attention grabber throughout the season as it dropped in extremely limited quantities throughout the season. Built for the modern “position-less” player, this ground-breaking silhouette designed by a team led by the brand’s Creative Design Manager Jonathan Grondin boasts a 3D Ultra Heel construction and infused FitWeave upper team up for a long-lasting, locked-in fit. Now, the energy created by the Finals MVP is culminating with an epic “Fun House” pop-up shop created in conjunction with Shoe Palace, the trusted retailer that celebrated its own 25th Anniversary a year ago.
Here’s the rundown: Beginning October 18th, Shoe Palace will release six exclusive iterations of the OMN1S, with purchase opportunities exclusively available to those to attend the Fun House. On Friday, the “Best Kept Secret” and “Trust Leonard” will be available. Saturday will see three different colorways – “Black Ice”, “Do Not Disturb”, and “Distinct Beast”.. Finally, Sunday will see the “Clippers” edition at 11am PST. Again, all six will be available at 11am PT only to those who attend the New Balance x Shoe Palace Fun House, although there are plans to release them to a wider audience during the upcoming season.
The Fun House will also see limited edition apparel and accessories, wall-to-wall entertainment with your favorite carnival games, “Fun Guy” themed prizes, customized t-shirts by local artists, and an appearance by the newest LA Clipper Kawhi Leonard himself (Saturday only).
After the Fun House festivities come to a close, a seventh colorway of the New Balance OMN1S in white and gold will be available on October 23rd via the New Balance online store, New Balance flagship stores, and select Shoe Palace and Foot Locker locations in Los Angeles. Get a rundown of all seven New Balance OMN1S colorways as well as an inside look at the Funhouse, and get full details on this limited-time pop-up here.
