New balance vision racer5/7/2023 The Jaden Smith branding includes the VISIONS branding underneath the transition outsole, the vision racer branding on the tongue, the visions name repeated on the pipeline, along with his signature in one insole while a special message in the other. Something I mentioned in the video wast that I loved the equal amount of collaboration being displayed, from the different New Balance logos (on the upper and heel tab) to the awesome Jaden Smith branding. In comparison to the other colourways that have released, these are my favourite but if you wanted to wait for others or browse what are still able you should visit this page on New Balance’s site. I love the different bright colours used as well as the different materials, from the mesh to the synthetic leather. This specific colourway is called the “Surplus” as it uses surplus materials to comprise the shoe, which is also great since no one pair of sneakers will actually look the same. In addition to the sneaker being vegan friendly and hopefully driving an impact to make more sneakers vegan friendly and sustainable, this colourway definitely was the second reason why I wanted to purchase these. But let’s talk more about that in the aesthetics. This is the main reason why I wanted this sneaker in my collection because I would love all my sneakers to be vegan friendly, and the fact that they did it with this while making it fashion forward, it’s awesome. The heel carrier is made from 98% post-production leftover foam and rubber.” The insert foam is made of a combination of 6% castor bean oil, 15% recycled foam, 5% recycled rubber, and 74% virgin PU. Partially Recycled Insole: The dual density insert consists of a foam in a heel carrier. “Midsole with EVA Regrind: The midsole includes 5% EVA regrind, alleviating a potential waste stream. ![]() As the tag states and product description online states: Nonetheless, one of the elements Jaden has clearly influenced is that this is really the first time New Balance has put a priority on sustainability when it comes to footwear as each element in the Vision Racer incorporates recycled material and the shoe is vegan-friendly. ![]() ![]() New Balance on their site states that this sneaker takes hues from the X-Racer and the 1700 (which is said to be Jaden’s favourite heritage sneaker). ![]() According to Seth Fowler, he mentions that the sneaker initial design was already created and New Balance offered Jaden Smith to add his branding and certain ideas. This has been anticipated for a couple years now, after it was made aware that Jaden Smith was signed to New Balance. This sneaker is no exception to that as Jaden Smith’s first signature sneaker with New Balance does promote something more vegan, sustainable, and eco-friendly. It’s incredible of what he has done at a young age, and he is continuing to develop his music (which is pretty good in my opinion) as well as push certain topics forward. But let’s set the record straight, Jaden has definitely earned this collaboration as he has built himself an impressive resume and brand from his music to acting, to the social issues he supports including being a partner in Just Water and opening a vegan food truck for those experiences homelessness. If you are not familiar with Jaden Smith, you might have heard of his dad, Will Smith. This striking sneaker is indeed a collaboration between New Balance and Jaden Smith.
