New Balance x JJJJound 1890 'Black' (2026)

New Balance and JJJJound bring the Canadian design studio’s understated aesthetic to the 1890 silhouette with this ‘Black’ colourway, delivering a refined interpretation of the brand’s newest lifestyle runner. The upper pairs black open mesh with tonal synthetic overlays, creating a sleek, layered construction that emphasises the silhouette’s streamlined shape. Crisp white accents appear on the tongue, laces, and subtle JJJJound branding at the lateral heel, while the black 'N' logo blends seamlessly into the sidewalls for a clean, monochromatic look true to JJJJound’s signature minimalist design language.

The 1890 combines design cues from New Balance’s late-1990s and early-2000s performance runners with a contemporary lifestyle-focused build. A lightweight mesh upper is reinforced by sculpted overlays, while a full-length ABZORB midsole delivers responsive cushioning and is supported by a Stability Web shank for enhanced midfoot support. Minimal co-branding, premium construction, and a restrained black-and-white palette allow the silhouette’s distinctive proportions and technical tooling to take centre stage, making this one of JJJJound’s most subtle yet modern New Balance collaborations to date.
