As a seasoned gamer with a penchant for both streetwear and sneakers, I can’t help but feel a rush of excitement when it comes to the latest drop from Stone Island x New Balance. The “Ghost” collection, inspired by Stone Island’s own Ghost pieces, promises monochromatic garments derived from the concept of camouflage – a perfect blend of style and innovation that catches my eye every time.


News: Following an early peek at the Stone Island x New Balance 991v2 collaboration, which emerged earlier this month, the three collaborative shoes have now been officially unveiled, and the source of their design revealed. Named the “Ghost” collection, these three pieces draw inspiration from Stone Island’s own Ghost items: monochromatic clothing that is inspired by the idea of camouflage.

News Update: In addition to Stone Island revealing a teaser for their upcoming collaboration with New Balance, we now have a preliminary look at what this partnership will bring. The pair has designed a grayscale version of the MADE in UK’s 991v2, and there are rumors of two other colorways – black and green – set to be released as well. Upon closer examination, the sneaker features its usual mixed material construction and Stone Island’s distinctive emblem on the tongue. Keep an eye out for more details on these shoes as we anticipate their release in the upcoming months.

Original Story: Stone Island has returned to tease yet another collaboration with New Balance.

In the gaming world of sneakers, I hopped on board the partnership between these two powerhouses back in 2021. Last year, they dropped an updated version of the RC Elite running shoe that had me hitting the tracks with renewed energy. This collaboration was a joint effort by Stone Island’s creative minds and New Balance’s innovation hub based in both Tokyo and Boston – two cities that truly understand the pulse of footwear design!

Previously, New Balance’s 991v2 was given a black and olive hue as a new color scheme last autumn. More recently, this summer has seen Stone Island presenting two fresh color combinations for the New Balance 574, in “Light Green” and “Dark Green” tones.

The newest sneak peek displays both the Stone Island and New Balance emblems on pictures featuring trucks; among them is an image showing a man tugging at a truck using only his physical strength.
