LA-based musician Eyedress is getting his own New Balance Numeric collab.
The Filipino singer-songwriter will be dropping his own colorway of the New Balance 417, the first pro model for skateboarder Franky Villani. Featuring a wintery snow theme, the shoe come dressed in all white canvas and suede with an angel snowman drawing on the back of each heel. Cartoon versions of Eyedress and Franky Villani are found on the insoles, and their names also appear on the tongue tags. Additional features include a hidden stash pocket on the tongue and translucent rubber outsoles with additional Eyedress branding.
This collaboration came about after Eyedress saw clips of Franky skating to his music. Being a skateboarder himself, Eyedress reached out to Franky over social media, ultimately sparking a strong friendship. The two even linked up to create a song together, titled “smile,” which is accompanied by a claymation-style, snowman-themed music video.
The Eyedress x New Balance Numeric 417 drops August 30th on Eyedress’ website. Grab a preview below.
