Matt Varga The Philadelphia 76ers have surged out to the #1 seed in the Eastern Conference after a whirlwind offseason in which they added both Finals MVP Jaylen Brown and all-time great LeBron James. Yet as both of those players and franchise stalwart Joel Embiid have said, the City of Brotherly Love’s franchise truly does go as its point guard does. In this renewed life as a #1 option, Tyrese Maxey has had new tires as he leads the squad, continuing its rollout with the New Balance Maxey v1 “White/Light Blue.”
This is actually one of the three colorways initially revealed by Tyrese himself in the shoe’s officially sanctioned first look along with the debut black/blue and a contrasting black/red. The mixed materiality, comprised of a lightweight mesh foundation, synthetic reinforcement on the sides, and a suede patch, remains in place here, only further emphasized with these adjacent off-white tones in the upper. While this and the first publicly released pair do align with the 76ers’ blue uniforms, it’s hard not to think of Maxey’s college days with the variation at hand given the Kentucky light blue that handles the woozy midsole geometry.
This New Balance Maxey v1 in light blue and white should be dropping on December 4th, retailing for $120 in men’s sizing.
