Update September 24th, 2024: Aminé has officially unveiled his next collaboration with New Balance. This blue/orange colorway of the New Balance 740v2 is inspired by the official colors of Benson Polytechnic High School (aka Benson Tech) where Aminé began his musical journey.
To commemorate the collaboration, Aminé has donated $25,000 to the graduates of the Radio KBPS program to help with college expenses. The collaboration is confirmed to release on November 1st.
The New Balance 740 is an archival model that released around 2010. The 740v2 is an updated version with a new sole unit and will release in several colorways this Fall/Holiday season.

The creative portfolio of multi-talented Portland native Aminé has a major addition coming soon. In this latest ad, Aminé confirms that he and New Balance are dropping a collaboration in 2024 – a much-anticipated follow-up to his highly praised projects from last year.
While the details surrounding this Aminé x New Balance collab are slim at the moment, he is potentially teasing the shoe in the video as he’s seen wearing a blue/orange colorway of an unidentifiable model. It may very well be a New Balance 1906U, a model that the brand is pushing forward with emphasis with shop collaborations, but given the unconventional nature of the 610 model he chose last year, we’re bracing for something truly different from the crowd as we saw with “The Mooz“.
We will provide updates once they arrive, but expect an official announcement from both artist and brand very soon.
