‘The Mooz’ sneakers feature brown and yellow uppers, alongside an eye-catching “610” badge painted in a glowing yellow.
The snowglobe features a bunch of bananas that bounce along the inside, with Aminé saying its “one of my favorite details of the shoe“.
Plus the dual-branded Aminé x New Balance logo sits on the tongues, positioned above toggled lacing.
Announcing the collab, the artist, who recently teamed up with queer producer and DJ Kaytranada on the album, KAYTRAMINÉ said he’s “been waiting for this moment”.
He said: “I was obsessed with trying to become a sneaker designer at some point but didn’t think it was possible.
“I’ve wanted to do this for so long but hip-hop found me at the right time in my life. I’ve learned to accept and see the beauty in everything you’ve been given.
“There’s not a lot of people where I’m from that have had a chance to do this and I want to make sure I’m not the last.”
He’s previously featured in the sneaker brand’s campaigns. Aminé has worn models including the 990v3, 2002R and 992 by New Balance, but this time is putting his stamp on the 610s.
