Taking cues from the X-Racer and Jaden’s favorite heritage model the 1700 the Vision Racer merges classic New Balance design language with Jaden Smith’s unique fashion-forward aesthetic. Jaden’s first foray into footwear design this bold silhouette pushes design boundaries and paves the way for sustainability-led footwear at New Balance. Each element incorporates recycled material and the shoe is vegan-friendly.
