In the past two years, New Balance's joint cooperation has achieved the realm of "everything will fire", and each cooperation model is a popular boutique. It also coincides with the popularity of retro running shoes in the trend circle again. This year, there must be a pair of retro running shoes in the shoe cabinets of fashionistas from all walks of life. Judging from the street appearance rate, New Balance's major classic shoes are definitely the main force of popularity this year. As the shoe type with the "most status" in the minds of OG trend players, the New Balance 990v1, which was born in 1982, is not only the "big brother" of the 99x family, but also the most popular classic for fashionistas. After 4 years of R&D and manufacturing, it not only brings a near-perfect detail experience with meticulous handcrafting, but it is also the top sports running shoes of the year. Since then, "990v1" has become synonymous with extraordinary quality and fashion. And this new joint cooperation not only uses New Balance 990v1 as the blueprint, but also joins hands with the well-known tooling brand Carhartt WIP for the first time. It is the most anticipated powerful alliance between tooling players and CITY BOY! 01Carhartt WIP x New Balance, the new benchmark for the joint cooperation in the trend circle, Carhartt WIP and New Balance are leaders in their respective fields. Both parties are good at injecting trend culture in real life, emphasizing pragmatism and exquisite life style at the same time. Carhartt was founded by Hamilton Carhartt in Detroit, USA in 1889, and cargo pants made of denim and canvas became the brand's signature product. In 1994, the Carhartt WIP brand was officially established, developed a sales network centered on Europe, and successfully introduced traditional tooling products to new markets. WIP means Work In Progress. It pays attention to the balance of material texture, simple design and practical functions, and skillfully integrates the tough American tooling style with street culture. While inheriting the classics, it also establishes its own unique new image. All kinds of overalls, hoodies, and T-shirts are regulars in the wardrobe of senior hipsters. They are easy to wear and easy to match, simple and capable. New Balance is also an advocate of simple and practical style. From the classic temperament of clothing to shoes, it is still very popular across multiple trend cycles. One is the representative of the tooling trend, and the other is the top of the retro running. The cooperation between the two parties can be called a "new benchmark for joint cooperation" in the trend circle. The strong street culture of the two sides collided. This time, with the theme of Practical Physical Culture, it brought a pragmatic trend sports series. 02A new choice of capable, generous and trendy sports and leisure The creative inspiration of this joint name comes from the Sculpture Cultural Center, which is a common gym in the American community.

The logos of the two sides are presented on the left and right tongues respectively, and the words "MADE IN USA" are low-key to highlight the identity of American production. The most prominent work jacket this time comes from Carhartt WIP's classic style - the Arcan Jacket.
