Japanese streetwear label BEAMS has made a significant move into the American market with the launch of their first pop-up store in Los Angeles this week. To commemorate this occasion, they’ve collaborated with New Balance to create the ‘Black Pack’ featuring the New Balance 1000 runner in two unique styles. The shoes are designed in all black, showcasing a contrast between synthetic materials and more natural elements; one pair features patent leather overlays on a rubberized base, while the other combines breathable mesh with suede paneling. This collaboration highlights BEAMS’ long-standing relationship with Americana since its inception in 1976, making it an exciting release for sneaker enthusiasts and fans of streetwear alike. The shoes will be available starting April 10, 2025, at the pop-up store, but details on pricing are not currently available, adding an element of exclusivity to this limited release.
